I thought so! I'm a finance guy and engineers were always, and I mean ALWAYS the smartest guys in the room. I always partnered up with them in MBA school :cheers;

I owned a ceramic PAM for a while. At one point it looked like it had a half an inch long scratch running through the side and it would not come out ... I was very baffled and upset, but it turned out to be rests of whatever I hit it against, and it came out rubbing it with some tooth paste. I heard that a pencil eraser works for this as well.
I didn't own any of my 44 ROOs long enough to have an opinion but I think that, bad luck aside, it would be hard to damage this material.
The extreme brushing can create some brighter dots under the right light where it meets the polished areas so that might look like a chip but it is just the finishing (same on the steel case and bezels).

i can attest to the eraser working but it must be an "ink eraser". looks grey, feels a little sandy.

i can attest to this working as when a titanium tang buckle from another AP hit my ceramic case, it left a mark I couldn't brush out with my t shirt.

enter the eraser...like magic the hairline went away.

just be sure to painter's take any non-ceramic metal near the area you are brushing with the eraser as it can leave a "brushed" effect afterward

I have a Rado with a ceramic band, and I have literally chopped down trees with a hand saw while wearing it. The clasp is scratched to heck, but the band looks great(!) after 12+ years of abuse.
