Just recently bought a watch with a tungsten carbide case and bracelet. Highly polished, (looks like liquid metal), almost completely immune to marks and scratches. So hard you can use a corner of the bracelet to cut a line into glass as easily as marking wax with a metal scribe. It occurs to one that if this technology is inexpensive, (this 300-gram watch cost less than $1000), why doesn't Rolex introduce it at least as an option? I for one would jump at the chance.

Don't know enough about it's other properties to pass judgement.

But I, for one, don't really fancy a bracelet on my wrist that can cut glass like butter!
