hello,

I am just trying to figure out what is the point of ROLEX making a ceramic insert. Someone recently cracked their
insert here on TRF and posted some pics and it turns out it is not much thicker than the metal insert. For some
reason, I thought it wasas thick as the bezel.

So why would Rolex go with the ceramic? Are they following some trend?
Does it make the watch look bigger? It definitely has a shine to it for sure but it shatters easily and is atleast 3 times as costly as a metal one.

In other words, how does a ceramic insert improve anything over a metal insert?
thanks,
