No scratching here, and I've "offered" my bezel plenty of chances.

See my post from Aug 17, 2009. Collision with the wife's diamond ring.

See the chip on the crystal as well.

Ouch! Sorry to hear it. Diamond is the one thing that can scratch it. That sucks!

rockyn · 1 May 2010, 01:19 PM

no scratches here

OYSTERMANN · 1 May 2010, 05:42 PM

None whatsoever

Ebruner · 1 May 2010, 09:47 PM

About 18 months without a scratch, but the allure of the ceramic has faded quite a bit for me personally. I am liking my Sub bezel better every day.

Have to agree something where newer materials are not always better.Ceramic is not something thats new in the watch world, its been around since the 1960s.But today ceramic seems to be the latest fashion, with many high end brands now getting into the ceramic fashion.

vsproto · 29 June 2010, 11:04 AM

what are the advantages of ceramic? i mean, why do you want it as a bezel over the other options.

tgoose1 · 29 June 2010, 11:50 AM

Well??? Its' pretty!

AAMD11 · 29 June 2010, 12:01 PM

I love ceramic, my RADO Sintra is all ceramic.

Rolesor · 29 June 2010, 12:25 PM

I've seen a few pictures of "chips" but not many

-Scratch Resisting..
-UV resisting..will not fade by time
-Attractive..as color changes a bit according to the light

My old style aluminum inserts don't have any signs of wear, scratches, or fading. They are between 6-10 years old.

Diamonds will do a number on inserts and crystals. I've seen quite a few scratched up from significant others catching their diamond across by accident.
