Officine Panerai

Since I brought up the recent thread about Panerai DLC durability (click here ), let's see how the Panerai black ceramic is holding up.

So I'm calling to all PAM292, PAM317, and PAM335 owners - how well is the ceramic holding up?

Do you see any hairline swirl marks?
Anyone accidently drop one on the floor?  Did case crack?
Bang your ceramic case against a door or wall?
Are you satisified overall w/ this ceramic case? 

Please chime in all!   Thanks!

Cheers,
Anthony

I would love to respond, but I still haven't received my 317.  Deliveries are long on arriving.

I've worn my 292 about 30-35% of the time since last fall.  So far the coating is holding up well.  No noticeable marks or swirls, although I haven't looked at it very carefully.  I've banged it on a doorway once or twice.  No marks.  I've also done a strap change and the screws look good. 

Even though it often take trips to the Asian wet markets!

a few strap changes and the screws have lost some black coating. The ceramic case itself is A-ok!

From my experience neither metal buttons, marble desk, metal handles left no any sign on 292's case. It's super convinient for "don't worry about" wearing!!!

I wear it everyday since last nov 09, no single scratches, dings (dont even have "hairline" scratches) at all....

Hi Anthony,

the plexiglass of the California is really....REALLY, delicate. It scratches something awful..
