Calling IWC ceratanium watch owners...

Dear all, I had a pretty nasty experience with my Tribute to 3705. During a strap change made by the IWC sales rep, the back of the case was scratched by the spring bar. The IWC staff insisted that it’s not a scratch by a deposit of steel.... They failed ...
Figures!

IWC has claimed that Ceratanium is some new alloy they created...

Especially when they tell you: a special titanium alloy made specifically for IWC! That’s funny coz I’m 100% sure it’s the classic grade 5 titanium alloy but with the heat process they will harden the surface and make more scratch/wear resistant. Natural ...

Big Pilot Ceramic “scratch” story
By: roundel : April 11th, 2021-11:27
My Big Pilot Miramar ceramic case had a “scratch” on the side of the case. Upon inspection I became convinced that it was a deposit instead of a gouge. I tried lots of techniques but finally found that automotive paint rubbing compound and lots of elbow g...
