#CeramicNotForMe
#Oups #1000$DropOnTheFloor I won’t buy any watch that has anything ceramic on it. Period.

I'm definitely not on the same boat as you, I'll be slicing my own bread here.. I do have and like both of mine (Sub, Blnr) with ceramic bezels but they actually made me appreciate aluminum bezels more. I was ready to pull the trigger on a new Planet Ocean recently with their liquid metal bezel insert which i believe to be better than ceramic for a few reasons but after comparing it to a few years older model with the aluminum bezel that became my choice. I've never had a bad experience of a cracked bezel, its just aesthetically for me. I also have a pre ceramic 5 digit Sub and Gmt and if it came down to it they are the keepers.

Ceramic is the most modern! It also looks more vibrant in sunlight. The Ceramic Bezels make these watches a little cleaner from a distance and stands out a little more especially in the Hulk, Blnr and Blro! The Black Ceramic Bezels will keep the watches a little fresher as the years go by. It’s the evolutionary in the Rolex Line.

Absolutely not. And I prefer my bread whole and crusty, so I can break it with my hands.

Geez this is polarizing in opinion always. I don't understand the two extremes. One I will only buy ceramic because it's so modern and the other that ceramic is out of date and worthless and will shatter when used as a tool. I'm sure there are many in the middle that are the vocal minority though.
I just appreciate both. I love my 116610LN with Ceramic since the bezel inlay and sapphire are basically scratch proof in normal casual wear. Love my 116520 with a polished steel bezel too. Steel really is the perfect bezel for a sports watch though. Applied luminous paint on a dive bezel made of brushed SS would be pretty perfect. Same with the Explorer 2. Maybe Rolex has that in store with the next refresh of it. Now aluminum, that's a material better left for soda cans. Perhaps that's why Pepsi and Coke were called so. Time for me to duck and cover |

I have both.
To me the aluminum has depth and transparency which I find attractive in many ways, it will age naturally and is more appealing to me. The ceramic looks rigid, rock hard, solid, shiny. They say will not develop a patina over time. I guess if you want a new reference you will be living with the ceramic. |

Could not go back unless there was a new way to make the glossy black color.
