This honestly makes me want to stay clear of the matte bezel. I was told my an ex employee of omega the name for the color is Teak grey. It's supposed to look like the aged coloring of a boat...
Great job Omega, how about next time you use a nice gloss and some liquid metal!
Here ya go....very frustrating IMHO, especially with a high end watch. And I am very careful with my timepieces. There are three scratches in total around the bezel. The one at the 40-ish mark being the worst.
Likely just surface marks. Try using a pen eraser to start with, and if that doesn't work, either drop by a boutique or get the proper stick for removing the marks.
sorry for reviving this thread but I saw a video on Youtube and the guy showed a scratch on the matte bezel that showed METAL. He concluded that Omega made the matte ceramic bezel by applying a thin layer of something that is scratch resistant but not proof and if the scratch is deep enough, the ceramic/metal underneath will show through
Interesting. It's not so much that I want to know what ruins the ceramic surface, but more that I'm surprised. I was under the impression the ceramic bezels are a step up in quality and function for keeping it looking new longer by avoiding daily wear scratching. What's the point if it can still scratch and cost triple to repair...
