Are ceramic bezels more wear-resistant and less prone to scratches than stainless steel bezels?

Nowadays, replica watches not only feature standard steel bezels but also a newer type of ceramic bezel. Ceramic bezels are not made of true ceramic; their primary material is corundum. They are significantly superior to steel in terms of wear and scratch resistance, though they lack the texture of steel and are somewhat brittle. Stainless steel, on the other hand, can be repeatedly ground and polished.

　　If ceramic bezels are not true ceramic, why are they called that? In English, the word is 'ceramic', which can mean the material, or be used as an adjective meaning ceramic, exquisite, or brittle. When Rolex introduced their bezels, they used the term 'ceramic circle', and thus the name 'ceramic bezel' came to be.

　　Ceramic bezel replica watches are more scratch-resistant and durable than steel, with a distinct texture, though one must be careful to avoid impacts. Stainless steel bezels can be repeatedly ground and polished later. Both have their advantages; the choice depends on personal preference.
