TAGster 5 Posted June 22, 2010 Hi mates, I had a discussion with a friend and he was telling me he had saw a Rolex GMT with the new Cerachrom bisel, and I told him as far as I know this material was used only in the Submariner. I did some research and saw the GMT has ceramic bisel, but I do not know if this is the same as "Cerachrom" material. In fact, in the official Rolex website, the only watch that mention the use of cerachrom is the Submariner Date, so at this point I am already confused. So, anyonoe who can explain to me the differences between "Cerachrom" and "ceramic bisel"?. Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC 4,530 Posted June 22, 2010 Cerachrome is Rolex's TM name for the Ceramic Bezel, they are one and the same. btw: the models that currently have a ceramic bezel are Submariner, GMTIIc & DSSD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fakemaster 0 Posted June 22, 2010 The Deepsea models are where they first made reference to Cerachrom. It describes the process that they use to engrave the ceramic while it is still soft. There is a difference in the appearance of the Sub and GMT inserts. The GMT numerals are more flush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avenger007 29 Posted June 22, 2010 I believe the Yacht-Master II also has the ceramic bezel......not that you'd want one. Just sayin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAGster 5 Posted June 22, 2010 Great! thanks all for your responses. So, if I got it right: Cerachrom is the process to embed the ceramic into the bizel and this material is used in the GMT II, Deepsea and Submariners models right?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 997 Posted June 22, 2010 Nope, it's the trade marked process of engraving the numbers into the insert, the entire bezel insert is ceramic. Yes, all three of those use ceramic. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
