damn..gotta love ceramic..

BTW...I had a chance to handle a bee this past week at a Panerai event..
It was surprisingly hefty in a good way...the cabon has some heft...and of course..quality details...

sorry had poor lighting...it actually fit better than my ex-Diver..and I guess it wears smaller due to the dark colors...

Now, can you try that with the ROO Diver so we can compare results?

Thanks!

;-)

Glad it ended well, Mike!

Glad that all is well, mike. Now, this is not a secret enabling thread for ceramic APs, is it?

Did the same with my IWC Top Gun Doppel...

...though it was was playground jungle gym that bore the brunt of my clumsiness. I hit that damn bar hard enough to transfer paint to my IWC, but a few swipes on my shirt and it was as good as new. The bar on the jungle gym? Not so much.



Regards,
Adam

I think I'm now close to wanting a 3786-01, Adam. The robustness of ceramic is really quite attractive.

You can buy touch up paint for your dryer to try to hide the damage. It won't look perfect but should blend rather nicely.

ps... glad your Bumble Bee is ok

It's amazing that the ceramic is unscratched
