Ceramic Bezel

[falconeye]

Hi,

I would like to know what is the difference between classical Bezel and Ceramic Bezel. When Replicas factory are realising Ceramic Bezel, is it from same material like Genuine ?

Thanks

The 'Ceramic' bezels on rep watches are generally plastic (not ceramic), or, if it is ceramic, it is nowhere near the same quality as the material used on gen watches (a gen ceramic bezel is highly scratch-resistant, while there are numerous reports of scratches & abrasions resulting from normal wear on rep bezels). The standard Sub or GMT bezel is steel, with numbers painted onto it. The numbers on (gen) ceramic bezels are embedded into the ceramic material (& consist of a platinum material that is vapor-deposited into the number channel). Refer to Rolex's website for details.

Hi Freddy,

Thanks for your answer. SO Ceramic Bezel on rep are very different from genuine.

If I order a replica submariner what is the best, ordering a sub with a ceramic bezel or with a "classical" bezel ?

Thanks for your help.

That all depends on your taste. The two models are completely different in shape and size.

I'm curious as to if the rep ceramic inserts are more durable than the genuine inserts. Apart from scratches, I don't believe I have seen reports of anyone shattering a rep insert, but I have heard reports of the gen inserts shattering under certain conditions, such as the watch being dropped...

And which one is more resistant to scrtches ? This is the more important for me.

ceramic is more scratch resistant than paint on steel.

ceramic is more scratch resistant than paint on steel.

Even on replica watch Ceramic is more resistant ?
