Have rolex considered meta materials, Carbon nanotube stuff. They can make clothing of it now (in the lab) I'm thinking about the durability of the mechanics and the glass. A scratch in the glass would drive me nuts.
Even a rudimentary understanding of Science in general, will tell you that every material has strengths and weaknesses. Life is about trade-offs; not solutions. Ceramic is fantastic as it doesn't expand and contract anywhere near as much as metals do, and it's very scratch-resistent; but it's brittle, so it shatters with sharp impacts. If you drop a yellow-gold Submariner from enough of a height that it shatters the bezel, the issue isn't the bezel - it's you being a careless moron lol
This company charges 40,000 for a watch that contains maybe 6,000 worth of 18k gold. Their watches are primarily mass produced and not the quality of a Patek Phillipe or Audemars Piguet. Add in that they were swindled out of billions by Bernie Madoff and you can see why they are priced out of the watch market.
Even new Rolex watches look like they are out of the 80s. Still awesome.
Omega's liquid metal bezel might be better. Gold-plating on the numerals may wear off over time.
I can't speak for Omega, but the gold plating sounds like a bad idea
beautiful.

That bezel is a bit off to the left :D
I'm buying a datejust but watching this video makes you wanna buy a gmt/sub
They do but the price I'm paying I don't mind. I'm getting new cheaper than used
@@sampochin how?
Did you every get the date just?
I really dont understand why they dont just use fucking tungsten carbide.
@Slipstream, could you post some links and piks of these bezels snapping in two?
If these ceramic bezels are so good, how come they break so easily?
It is still ceramic after all

@sweetyvash You have a $12,000 watch and you didnt know what material is what made of, yea sounds like you do your homework before you make a purchase
Bezels were always the weak link on the tool watches.
And the Chinese can replicate the exact same ceramic bezel for ten times less🤣
40 hours is a whole different animal from 40 man-hours... its not like this is a Patek Philipe
Funny how there's many reports of these bezels snapping in two and not forgetting the bezel falling off the watch altogether.
You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.
Parnis does the same for 10$

AP charges $50,000 for a gold Royal Oak, so I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make as far as the amount of precious metals.
I would rather feed the hungry children than buy this crap...
You feed the hungry children. I'm gonna keep buying watches.
