That's not true.

They market and market quite heavily.

It keeps up the brand perception, the perception of which is vital to those justifying such a large purchase.

Perhaps they should have called it Cera-scraping technology and charged the big big buck.

A clean spud for every achievement.

They charge as much as they think they can get away with.
They are telling us that ceramic is sooo exclusive, even more than gold.

But that doesn't really explain the differential and why the equivalent all gold model is less expensive.

Ultimately, I would say the justification is really "because they can".

The main guy I know that works for the RSC told me that the bezels are in fact of gold with ceramic coating. Hence, the high price.
You re welcome people lol
