LOL ceramic owner here but I love the size of the older style...the size is just perfect!
I only got the new one because of the glidelock clasp. |

Nothing wrong with an aluminum bezel insert & what can I say about lug holes....it's like breasts without nipples.....a watch needs lug holes like a breast needs nipples.

I love ceramic... It adds extra shine and luster to the watch without being too flashy. Plus it won't fade, and the engraved with platinum (for SS models) insert is great and easy to read.

I could take or leave the ceramic. I just love the glidelock and the larger case size. I'm 6'6" 245lbs and the new maxi case just looks better on me.

There are pros and cons to both aluminium and ceramic, but I do like how my ceramic bezel still looks pristine despite several "love taps" against solid immovable objects.
Nice pics. |

I hope in 25 years i'll have a well worn piece.. I'm sick in the head, love all of my stuff then always flip :( I kind of envy guy's who have just one piece or two, and wear it daily through any and everything  Much cooler story in the end and feeling about it

I like the ability to change the bezel whenever the mood dictates and the price to do so without breaking the bank…unlike with the ceramics today.

I really love the flow of the non-ceramic, but I love the look of the ceramic bezel...the color changes in different light conditions and it looks great. The only downfall with the SubC is the wider lugs, still trying to get used to them...
