Calling all bumblebee owners

Hey guys,

Today, one of the most horrific things happened to me. I was taking a walk along a crowded street and wham! from the back came this violent push. I stumbled and as a result hit my bumblebee against a railing. Naturally I was furious. I took a quick turn to search for the culprit but he/she was long gone. My next reaction was to take a long glance at the watch. To my horror, it had a mark around the 11 o'clock area. I was in disarray. My fears were later confirmed when I stepped into a nearby shop with good lighting, there was indeed a mark/scratch on the bezel.

Fast-forward to when I got home. I would previously polish off any scratches by using my trusty cape cod cloth. However, I was well aware that the bezel on this watch was not gold/stainless steel. Ceramic, to my knowledge, cannot be polished by any household means. But being desperate, and not wanting to wait till Monday to bring it down to the AP service centre, I decided to give it a try. To my utter joy, the scratch came right off, it was a miracle unfolding right in front of my eyes. I pressed harder and polished more vigorously. A quick rinse under the tap revealed that the watch was once again in its immaculate condition.

This naturally left me puzzled. I can only speculate that the bezel picked off some of the paint/coating the metal railing had. What ever the case may be, I would like to praise AP for making, in my humble opinion, the MOST hardy watch ever. Countless knocks, careless actions and unfortunate incidents (read above) and my beloved bumblebee is still spotless and pristine. Was wondering if any of you guys share the same sentiments?
