Need feedback on this ceramic diver

Hi

My first post here. Been reading the forum for quite a while though. Lots of good info on AP's.

I'm looking to buy a ceramic diver and I have narrowed my search down to this one. As you can just about see there are some marks on the edge of the bezel at 6 o'clock. What do you think about this? Do you have anything similar on you ceramic bezel AP's? The seller says that the marks are tiny and barely noticeable. I live far away from the seller, so I'm not able to take a look myself.

To be fair, in the next photo, you can't see any ridges, so it does look very light and almost superficial.
That said, are you not also considering the cheaper one from the Belgian reseller, which is brand new, so shouldn't have any marks at all.
If you were going for this one because it's a Danish reseller and C24's checkout, then I hope you're at least using the Belgian one to negotiate the price down to something more befitting the slight damage and older age.

I have one and I would get a new one, a ceramic is supposed to be hard to scratch, so at least get new, the one in Belgium is a little more but new, I'd go for that one, I got a super price on mine but I have tax refund, basically 25% off retail price...

Thanks for the input. I agree with you!

Point taken. I agree. Will either get a new one, or find a perfect used one!
