Carbotech

What is your guys thoughts on the durability of the carbotech material? Does it scratch like steel? I know with Audemars they had some issues with the material i believe the edges were rounding off after awhile and they discontinued the model
they made theres out of forged carbon

Very durable and doesn’t scratch easily

I have only tried on the Pam a couple of times (vs owning one). However, I found them to be very comfortable on the wrist and great looking. I've not heard any negative feedback on the material. It's supposed to be quite durable and resistant to scratches/damage.

I had a 44mm AP ROO forged carbon.
No issues with the case. Looked awesome, loved the weight, or rather, the lack of.

Not sure how Carbotech is different, but hopefully won’t fare any worse
