I think it may possible but will involve to a lot of works and $$$. Because the ceramic display case back is Titanium and may not look nice in SS and the color will not match nicely. That just my opinion.

I love the ceramic. But how do you prevent it from looking like just any old black watch?

I agree I think under AD lighting it will look great, stealthy but with a bit of sizzle, but under normal/low light it could just fade away.

I almost pulled the trigger on a SS one this morning before my wife was out of bed. I need to calm down... Ultimately I think I'd like the ceramic better, maybe a trip to NY is in my future...

Edit:

Seeing a video of one in 'boring' light it looked quite flat. Perhaps FC?

I like the look of the FC but would be concerned about the long term sustainability of the case. I have seen pics and heard of chipping and such in regards to the FC...even from an AD! JAT

Another +vote for SS.
