Sub C bezel scratches

[Rallyboat]

Just a quick question at the moment I have got an explorer2 and I work on a fishing boat for some of the year and a passenger boat the rest of the season. My question is I am looking to get a submariner but which one I like the look of both BUT like every one says when you scratch the original you see it a mile away but what Mark does it leave on a ceramic one. Thanks in advance.

I believe the whole point of the ceramic bezel is that although more expensive, is really tough, as in super scratch resistant and they don't fade in sunlight. From what I have seen, they are near impossible to scratch unless your trying to so I would go with ceramic bezel for you.

My only concern would be if you actually broke the insert at some time. Also the blockier lugs of the new ceramic sub might get in the way depending on what you do on the boat?? The insert is very expensive compared to the 16610 Sub insert. You could even buy a used bezel insert on here and save the original one if you wanted. I think you could buy a 16610 save yourself close to 2,000 bucks and not worry at all about it. I find the 16610 a bit more of a tool watch than the 116610..just my opinion...
