Hello all iwc-friends
Wanted to see if someone else got scratches on their Ceratanium watches?
I got my TopGun Ceratanium in august but have already managed to get some
really bad scratches on the case wich get's the raw material to shine bright.
Thought this material would be more resistant than the Ceramics TopGun but it
looks like the oposit.
Any one else that got the same experience with Ceratanium?
I have experience with the ceramic ref. 3705 and the Ceratanium Hodinkee,
which I have used only short time yet.
I have the following experience with ceramics:
If there are blows or chafing with metal, it is possible that abrasion of the
metal can be seen on the ceramic.
The ceramic has NO scratches, but the application of metal etc.
With an eraser, etc. it is possible to remove those traces again. I have a
similar view of that issure with Ceratanium ?!
Try it, report on it and good luck ......
Hi PJ,
Sorry to hear that mate. Id love to see a pic of how deep the scratch was to
show the raw titanium
underneath. I believed the Ceratanium was the long awaited answer to the DLC
downside and hearing what youve described is a little disheartening.
Regards
That's terrible- and looks more noticeable than a regular scratch on stainless
steel...
Outch that looks terrible.
on the SSIH 2019 i talked to the IWC representative that showed the ceratanium
on the novelties booth.
When i asked him about the possibility to repair deep scratches or impacts on
the case, the answer was that it needs to be recoated. Or the obvious other
thing is to replace the case middle part.
That must have been a real hard hit, since the material is hard like ceramics.
