how scratch and ding resistant is damasko's coating compared to ceramic? on the fence for them for quite awhile

Never had a full ceramic watch before, closest thing is probably the ceramic bezel on my sub. Haven't really had any scratches on either, but the 904L steel on the sub scratches really easy, the damasko on the other hand still looks brand new despite bumping it into doorways and such.

I also heard that ceramic is much more brittle and will probably crack or shatter if you drop it. I've dropped my damasko before from about waist height and have no dings or scratches, the movement still works fine as well at about +3 secs per day.

Thanks for your wonderful welcome :)

Btw, thanks TeenTitan01 for your recommendation! It does influence me a lot when I looked around :)

And anyway the "automatic watch" that appears in my post is the lovely SARB035:

To be frank this GS look very clean very refined. More atas than rolex.

To be frank. A stack of $100 notes in my wallet look more satki + Seiko 5, compared to an empty wallet + rolex
