Attention PAM292, PAM317 and PAM335 owners - how tough is Panerai's black ceramic?
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
