In terms of shear beauty what do we think is the best ceramic bezel out there?

Fiery · 25 July 2010, 06:27 AM

TT/AG GMT IIC for me.

esm · 25 July 2010, 06:27 AM

GMTIIC - more "sysmetrical" imo

ersnyder · 25 July 2010, 06:30 AM

Gotta go with the Sub, it's a beaut!

Chris B · 25 July 2010, 06:30 AM

TT & YG GMT IIc,. so beautiful

JJ Irani · 25 July 2010, 06:34 AM

tifosi · 25 July 2010, 06:36 AM

With a camera, of course!!

Well, I just use macro mode setting on my camera, flash OFF and a rock-steady hand. Use natural light and avoid direct glare from nearby windows.

Thank you, Tom. You can see a picture of the camera I use in my above post.

One more shot of the ceramic bezel of the new Sub.

What is really amazing: Depending on the light, it seems to change color from dark black to grey.
Tonight during dinner with my wife I disovered even some shades of green. For a moment, I thought I was wearing my 16610LV...
But then wifey took me back to ground "Why are you staring at your watch, this is now No.3 of equal looking watches

"

Ok, but I love her anyway...(my wife and my watch)

DSSD for the large bezel and the minute markers that are all around the bezel.

Nothing looks better than the SS GMT IIC bezel! Next after that is the TT GMT IIC! Then, the Sub C!

sturgeon123456 · 25 July 2010, 07:49 AM

Gmt for it's symmetry.

2th Dr · 25 July 2010, 08:04 AM

GMT IIc, all the way!

Rolexsd4000 · 25 July 2010, 09:08 AM

This one!

Traveler · 25 July 2010, 09:29 AM

The white gold Submariner with the blue bezel, followed by the new Submariner LN with the black bezel.

TheDude · 25 July 2010, 10:14 AM

For me it's the the routed bezels like the IIc and the Yacht 2. Also, the numbers on the sub+SDDS seem to be off-true between say the 1 and 0, 2 and 0, 3 and 0, etc... Maybe it's an optical illusion, but it looks like the top of the zero is closer to the left digit near the top of the number.
