Bessel og Daytona c break more easely?

I was watching pictures of the Daytona c today (beautiful watch bye the way) and it struck me that the ceramic bessel on the Daytona must be much more phrone to breakage than the bessel on the Sub c or GMT II c due to the fact that it got no outer steel ring protecting it's edge. Anyone else noticed?

It does look more vulnerable... wear with care!


Looks nice though - better than the metal bezels imho

I did this to my dryer (chipped paint from metal) with a bezel-less ceramic watch. No harm to watch. It's tougher than you think.

That's impressive Mike... but how did it hold up to 30 mins in the dryer?

I'll never know... I wouldn't fit in the dryer.

Correction: the watch has a ceramic bezel, just no metal parts.
