achieving the perfection in case materials....

what is the ultimate in case material for you??

i am sure you demand beauty, durability, finish, practicality, cost and so on for your dream watch and in what ways have the manufactures responded...???

all these years we have seen use of materials and treatments such as

platinum (always expensive)
gold (yellow/white/red/rose)
stainless steel (the usual stuff watch cases are made of)
titanium (very light)
alusic (must be hideously expensive)
ceramic (always dark and black)
bronze (not common)
aluminium (light)
PVD / DLC etc.... (surface treatments)
carbon (expensive)

since the enemy of most watch lovers are scratches, i sincerely hope the industry can innovate seriously and give us a super durable finish that can withstand daily wear and tear....... at the moment, the in-favour high-tech material ceramic is still pretty expensive but it can get only more affordable in time to come......

my choice? i dun expect much so give me a super DLC finish in choices of clear coat or black...... just like the transparent / translucent films and skins we all use for mobile phones and laptops......
