Cerachrom bezel vs. diamond?
Which is harder? Will a scratch resistant cerachrom bezel be harmed by a minor banging against a diamond ring? How about the sapphire glass against a diamond ring?

Tom's example is a really good one at demonstrating how hard and immune the bezel and glass are. In all reality if you strike a diamond hard enough against any part of the watch it will (most likely) scratch.

Diamonds can scratch anything including cerachrome, sapphire, and other diamonds. My wife stores her bling the same way Tom's does.

Well Diamond is the hardest natural substance and will scratch any material that's softer. Although sapphire and ceramic are scratch resistant hit them hard enough they will scratch and even shatter.Sapphire crystals on Rolex watches can get chipped quite easy especially around the edges.
