Dear Purists,

I came upon this one tonight and I wonder if it sits well on my wrist, what are your thoughts? Also do you have any comments regarding IWC ceramic cases in terms of scratch sensitivity and impact resistance?

IWC does do some great watches and this one is one of it. If you are considering it then give it a serious chance: should be a part of any modern collection.
