hi i have a question,about the newer generation of steel daytona.
Does the steel rim around the bezel could get easily dinged ? Also does it give better protection for the ceramic bezel compare to the previous model ?

because as i know for the ceramic,it's very scratch resistant,but could get shattered.

its for esthetic only, the original ceramic bezel is as sturdy as steel, no damage has been reported so far.

Purely aesthetics/retro look.

It’s aesthetic IMO.

Omega uses it on the 321 and I wear this watch about one week out of every month. No sign of wear whatsoever

I think elevates the look of the watch, YMMV

I would think the think steel ring around the 126500 bezel is purely aesthetics (and maybe to protect that odd ceramic bezel that does break - although I have to yet see or hear of that on TRF or anywhere else)

That said, I've had my 116500 for 7 years and is worn quite often. Sometimes daily and sometimes part of a larger rotation. it's been through the rigors of daily life, work, commute, travel, gym, pool, shower - all with care of course. The bezel is still pristine and don't see that changing anytime soon (knock on wood)
