It has a polished surface, brushed sides, and crisp lines in between. I also find that the polished bits reflect less light and make the ceramic case less ostentatious. Although a good bit larger, in terms of finishing and proportions, it is nearly identical to the stainless steel versions. The crown and helium escape valve are nicely contrasting titanium.

Especially since there now seems to be a bit of animosity towards people (like me) whose main contribution is in the form of pictures in the WRUW thread.

"Stop trying to make your bicep look bigger." -my ever supportive wife.Īs no one has posted a review on the black ceramic/titanium Seamaster Professional yet, I thought I would share some of my thoughts. I tried to resist, really, but within a month of sending off the Explorer II, I had this watch on my wrist as well: Several weeks after that, I found a watch that had previously caught my eye in the WRUW thread lingering over in the sales section of another forum. Within a week, I had snatched up a Seiko turtle. And then one day, I noticed unsightly discolorations on several of the lume plots of the Explorer II and decided that it needed to get sent off for some work under warranty.* Needless to say, this was a mistake and a devastating blow to my newfound approach to watch ownership. This state of contentedness/simplicity/sanity lasted for three months, almost.

Apparently, alternating every week between two watches (in this particular case, a Bond Seamaster and a Rolex Explorer II) was just enough to stave off the urge to buy more watches. I settled on keeping just two watches and was surprisingly quite content. As part of that pursuit, I decided to pare my collection down as much as possible. Last summer, after moving for the umpteenth time for work, I decided to start adopting a minimalist approach to life.
