seems your 35 years is either a lie or you were just a worker behind a machine.

Is there need for this type of agro!!

Looking at the promo video you posted it looks to me that there is a fair bit of 'machining' involved..

It's been mentioned before.. Rado seem to make a ceramic watch for way less than Omega.

Well, just so happens when I was refinishing the case of 1 of the 2 sapphire crystal watches I have in the shop today...



I noticed this...



50% failure rate?

I did crack a saphire crystal on a tag heuer decades ago. Still have the watch and i never fixed it. Just lazy

Same here. Check out the multiple SC cracks on my Victorinox SA in 1997. I fell off my bmx bike & landed on the left side, wrist was first to hit the road ! The watch stopped ticking at the moment of impact , the accident forever frozen in Time ! It's So Freakin' Cool & I'm going to keep it that way!

they're priced higher because Omega can get away with it and they are out to make a profit like any business should be. Overall industry has been increasing pricing radically over the last few years and are doing it through the upselling of "new materials," which of course are anything but, but I suppose relatively new to the watch industry.

Pretty much every thread about ceramic watches turns into some people saying they are not willing to take the risk and the ceramic apologist telling them the risk is so small they should get over it. 🤨
