Hello guys, bought two month ago this beauty from andrew (TRUSTYTIME).
last monday it had a little desk dive and got this damage on the bezel. Pratically, the black fell off the bezel; so i m wondering...this rep supposed to be CERAMIC, is it possible?
i think if black fell off probably it's simple black coating and not 1:1 ceramic.
what do u think ?
thx for answer

There was a PVD version of this before the ceramic one came out, you sure you bought the ceramic and not the PVD? Are the PVD ones even in production anymore?

yes 100% sure i bought the ceramic 1:1 version...i paid for that one and i also asked for differences before the order...
now i told the problem to andrew with proof of my order (Trusty Time) and he doesn't answer me anymore...that's seems to me a fraud...how can i do ?? i found trusty time as TD on repgeek, is it a Trusted Dealer also on RWI ?

As far as I know the ceramic one is out of stock from a lot of time now (at least 1 year). He may have sent you the cheaper PVD...

Or, is it possible the midcase is ceramic and the bezel is metal? I would think that is an impact prone part and would probably be metal PVD sice that would be stronger, as would tge caseback typically be. . How is the gen constructed?

Do you have a link to the watch you ordered if so post it and no trusty time isn't a TD on RWI. Ceramic would not scratch like that its PVD.

Bad PVD in my opinion...
But that's not seller fault... we should blame the maker. The same watch is sold by _______ (put a Seller name here...)
