Ceramic Panerai like 384 and 292

What's the verdict on these. I have been reading horror stories of the case cracking etc. Now that these watches have a few years behind them and still in production, what is the general impression?
What do you do when a case cracks and you are out of factory warranty?

What horror stories? There has been like two or three floating around for years now. All-ceramic has risks, but with care, it seems to be a really solid option.

Here are my two at the moment. I love the material so much I'm hoping to build an all ceramic collection 😁

Uh oh, sideways...

And if you crack the case from some kind of impact whether you're in or out of warranty, you'd be in for a big bill I think.

They should make a black one for the ceramics for better matching!
