I'd still take Cerachrom any day of the week... The positives outweigh the negatives to me and many others. The "wet" look alone is worth it...

cerachrome is much more durable than the cheap aluminum inserts and so arre the upgraded bracelets on the ceramic models.

I'll still take ceramic over aluminum.

So far both my ceramics have been able to withstand the abuse from my three year old son.....knock on wood...

I meant I've knocked the ceramic on wood. Actually, just today, my gmt2c took a direct hit from the (spring loaded) garage door handle ( to the kitchen) as my kid was slamming it on me. Not even a minor blemish. They are tough. U really have to go out of ur way to break it imho.

Well worth the risk to be stunned by that beauty day in day out. ;)

Ceramic bezels

Aluminum bezels can't actually shatter like in the photo. They will however get scratched, scuffed and faded over time. Cerachrom won't wear out and will continue to look pristine provided you don't expose it to high impact forces against hard materials.

That's one of the best parts!

FWIW, there are actually some spot weld areas on the newer clasps that are potentially more prone to failure than the old tuna can clasps. The Glidelocks also occasionally have jamming issues.

He's talking about the green LV aluminum insert. The black inserts are much less expensive.
