BHK9, the Radiomir ceramic case is fine
If the Radiomir ceramic case weren't durable, Panerai wouldn't release it. The Radiomir case is smooth and curvy and doesn't have any 90 degree sharp lines as a Luminor case has at its lugs so there shouldn't be any problem with the ceramic Radiomir case.
What people were mentioning in this thread was the probability of a Luminor ceramic case not being as strong due to the lugs. And this could be why Panerai hasn't released the Luminor ceramic yet. Philippe Bonay did tell me at SIHH that Panerai was having difficulty with the Luminor ceramic case cause of the sharp lines of the case when I asked him about the possibility of releasing a ceramic Luminor.
I don't think any figures have been released on the Radiomir Ceramic Blackseal because the watch isn't even listed on Panerai's website under 2007 Special Editions. We'll just have to wait until the 1st pieces come out and these owners report back to us how the case is handling in everyday wear and tear. I expect the watch to be fine.
Cheers,
Anthony
Who here is planning on getting one of the Ceramic Blackseal Radiomirs?
On the list as well
I paid for my 292 several months ago . . . .
late 292s
Maybe they are smarter than we give them credit for.
Also for those wondering, the ceramic Blackseal is lighter in weight
Any Quality test on the ceramic case?
