Why ???? Kurt, Cermaic is supposed to be impervious to water, sun, corrosion, scratching and depending on the ceramic impacts!!! Actually Ceramic can be as tough as steel if not more as it will keep the finish and not scratch as steel can?

That's a good idea actually

Hope that this year rolex will manufacture a ceramic bezel with a different colour except black cause black colour is getting a bit boring

NO to all five.
The classic styling and simplicity of the tool watches appears to moving in the wrong direction, in my opinion. We certainly don't need a larger case size to go with the additional bling.

Yes I agree. I think Maxi dial is a bit cartoon-ish and have never been a huge (!) fan of it.
