Your statement 'each observer has a rest frame' is circular and
self-referential. When Einstein develop the SR math he considered that the
observer is in the absolute rest frame. Why? Because only the observer at
the absolute rest frame can see all the clocks moving wrt him are running
slow.
BTW that's the reason why SR is incomplete and has a limited domain of
applicability. In real life no observer is in a state of absolute rest.
Every observer is in a state of absolute motion.and thus every observer will
see some of the clock moving wrt to him are running slow and some of the
clocks moving wrt him are running fast. This is the basis of IRT. IRT
includes SRT as a subset. However, unlike SRT, the equations of IRT are
valid in all environments....including gravity. A description of IRT is in
