SA that was wrong man... :p

I just saw a question on CC. Someone was surprised that only the top layer of the insert is ceramic.

I didn't know they can do ceramic coating. Doesn't ceramic have to be 'baked' at a very high temperature, which would melt the insert material it is coating?

Yes but in this case it's a sandwich layer like the Pam dials. I just assumed everyone woul know that. Common sense would say for the price they're charging there could be no way it is a solid ceramic piece.

why, jandrew has been charging 400.00 for this watch with a supposed ceramic bezel insert but i can buy a solid ceramic channel from ruby for about the same amount, it is a big watch and it is all ceramic. i don't get it, somehow the math just don't work out. maybe it is just some more of that cartel math? :roll:
