Questions about ceramic cases.

I'm reaching out to people that own or have experience with ceramic case watches. I'm very, very interested in the two tone Seamaster ceramic and gold. I believe I am very careful with my watches so I don't think I would hit it on something to crack it. However, I don't know how I would be when I want to change the strap. Is there a very real danger of chipping the lugs when changing straps. I am careful with my steel watches and never scratched one, but I was just thinking if the spring bar slipped would the ceramic chip easily? Has anyone chipped their watch and how did you do it?

Highly unlikely unless you're using a sledge hammer and chisel to remove the bracelet.

Ceramic cases can compress all day. Torque however is another matter. Personally I would never spend huge money on a ceramic case watch.

Have had a couple, never had any issues, including changing straps. Too many nervous Nellies around.

Just because of the look?

Good to know. How do you like the ceramic feel?

Because of pic that Archer just showed.
