That was one of the whole reasons they went with ceramic...so it wouldn't fade/patina.

Are you sure?

Maybe they went for the ceramic because it blings more.



Ceramics will be less glossy - it just takes time and the right environment.

My matte bezel gives it that faded look in certain light

They haven't. The black Cerachrome bezels are ever changing from deep inky black to light grey depending upon the way light is being reflected off them.

Highly unlikely man.
That is why I have a vintage coming VERY soon.
1 Modern Ceramic and 1 Vintage is all you need! :D
Besides, the vintages are only going to get harder to find and prices aren't going down.

I guess I'm in the minority and prefer the non-faded look...

I love it too, a lot!
I also love a faded with a vintage leather strap.
BLNR + vintage sub is the plan.
Already have the BLNR and the sub should be coming in a week! Can't wait!!
