ceramic bezel on new sub - photos
Can anyone post a photo of the new model sub with a ceramic bezel? Apologies if I'm asking for stuff that's already up on the forum. Had a look around and couldn't find an actual photo of the real thing. Thanks

Thanks Dude
New clasp looks interesting. Blue doesn't do it for me. What are the advantages of a ceramic bezel? Harder wearing and less likely to scratch? |

The paint doesn't react with the bezel metal which caused them to fade in the past. Thats what I am gathering from others on the forum. And yes, that ceramic material is amazingly hard compared to the average coffee cup.

does anyone know whether you will be able to swap the metal bezel on an older sub for a new ceramic one?
