Kyle_d 0 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Can anyone recommend a full ceramic watch? Or any opinions on the vsf Pam438? The latest model is very gen like with regards to the movement and placement of balance wheel, but i think it's still a modified 7750 which I have read mixed reviews for.. Id also like a proper ceramic case not pvd or any other good quality dark materials. The latest vsf po full ceramic is very 'me' but ive just got the vsf po gmt which is very similar apart from the strap.. I would like something different really. Thanks Edited March 5, 2019 by Kyle_d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_B 2,401 Posted March 5, 2019 As a rule I’d say stick to steel watches, ceramic can crack if you’re not careful. If you fancy something different, maybe go for a bronzo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted March 5, 2019 The IWC Big Pilot Miramar full ceramic is probably my favourite watch.I don't have it with me at the moment but I might have a pic somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bronzo - bronze watch, Tudor do some nice ones, as do Panerai. like this for example http://www.trustytime.club/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_413&products_id=17059 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted March 5, 2019 This is the Miramar. I have it on a gen kevlar strap.I've regulated it to +2 seconds a day.The power reserve goes down about twice as quickly as the gen and it has a smoother sweep than the gen. Hardly a deal breaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
