@dsio I agree. The photo could be a Rolex plant. Seriously.
Funny how this is the only picture that keeps popping up as a scare tactic. We do not even know the story behind this pic lol. I love how this pic along with the one IWC and 1 Panerai keeps popping up with the millions of ceramics sold. Yes I do agree that metal is more forgiving but I think the ceramic breakage is getting blown way out of proportion as it is pretty rare to be honest but it surely makes the skeptics feel good about not purchasing such a beautiful watch. If mine breaks I will eat my words but I am far, far more concerned about theft and that why I insure all of mine. Omega is releasing so many Ceramic cases now I bet the replacement cost will go down for all those 1000s of people that will break theirs and don't have insurance lol. (sarcasm)
All very good discussion, guys.
For me, personally, I would insure any watch I paid more than $5k for, since at that point, you're wearing something as valuable as many used vehicles on your wrist. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Question for those of you who do have watch-specific insurance: how much does insurance tend to run? I ask purely out of curiosity. If I bought a $40k Patek, I just wonder what the monthly fee would be to keep that thing insured.
Yip pretty much seen all those before except for the bottom few. Again I wont deny ceramic breaks, That's the nature of it. A diamond will break under the right circumstances. For me the obvious benefits of the beauty and scratch resistance far outweigh the very very rare chance it could break. To each their own. I've broken many ceramic toilets in college but don't ask how lol. Not all ceramics are the same.
