Ceramic bezel vs glass desk...

...and bezel won!

Felt my watch nick the edge of my desk, not hard at all.
Saw this, about 3 mm long, and a corresponding small glass chip on my chair.
No marks of any type on the bezel. Tough ceramic!

Good point!

Here's a pic...
I believe the corner of the bezel closest to the desk edge chip is the responsible party.

Gotta love the ceramic bezel! I'm sure the SS bezel would not have fared nearly as well.
