Scratches on a ceramic bezel insert show up more?

[kymwatchlog]

I was having a conversation with a fellow WIS over the weekend...

He sold his SubC as it caught some scratches and the scratches really show up very clearly on ceramic insert as he says.

According to him, ceramic is highly scratch resistant, no doubt about this. However he says that Rolex did another coating of sorts on the insert and it is this coat that catches the scratches and causes the scratches to show up more.

Same logic that applies to the AR coating on crystals i think.

Since ceramic insert is new to many brands, nobody really knows how it fare in the long run.

He advised me to spend my $$ on a 14060 and not a 114060. A beaten 14060 looks much better than a beaten 114060.

Furthermore it is cheaper to replace Al inserts than ceramic ones.

Well, to each his own, but I would like to hear thoughts from the experience folks here.

thanks in advance!
