Reply With QuoteSeems like ceramic coating you can apply to cars. Has anyone tried that?
Anyone come across this stuff? Does it actually work? I suspect not but hoping someone has had a good experience.

Says it's not ceramic.Originally Posted by micks_address
Is it similar to ceramic coating?
Our product is a specially formulated resin that unlike ceramic will show scratches overtimealthough these will not affect the metal of the watch, giving it a more natural and original look.
All I know is that TGE from youtube is one of the backers behind it.
A reason not to buy it.
Their scratch test video on YouTube has comments off. Quite telling.
Snake oil.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
My concern is for removing this stuff, more likely causing damage doing that..
Would a cuff not do the same?
My immediate thoughts too. Spend the £129 on a timex/ seiko beater.
Thought as much guys! Appreciate the feedback.

Depends on the cuff. Who can forget the fresh hell of these when they appeared . . .
F.T.F.A.
Urgh a Breitling…Depends on the cuff. Who can forget the fresh hell of these when they appeared . . .
Edit: joke I love the Navitimer. The cuff not so much
This is one of those instances where I can’t help but think ‘how exactly could that ever work’? - firstly you have to apply an invisible coating that’s harder than metal to all the parts of a watch, including the bracelet, many of which fit together with close tolerances - doesn’t seem logically possible at all imho, I’d rather get a few scratches - or buy a watch with a hardened case/diashield etc in the first place! - I wore a fully tegimented Sinn U1 daily for a few years and it didn’t show a mark, I’m not entirely sure why other watch companies don’t use similar processes. Or maybe most people just don’t care about hairline scratches

Surely better to buy a tegimented Sinn, any Damasko, Archimede Outdoor Protect, Dekla 6Steel, Citizen Duratect, some Grand Seiko, Bremont, Haldor, Subdelta, Traska... or pretty much any ceramic or carbon-cased watch...
How scratch resistant are carbon-cased watches? I have seen a few mentioned (e.g., CW's new Colchester) but wondered if they resist scratches better than steel. And do you think Breitlight compares for scratch avoidance?
Precisely. My Damasko, for example, has been used and abused for almost a decade. Yet it looks brand new!
That has to be a windup...Depends on the cuff. Who can forget the fresh hell of these when they appeared . . .
Nah… it’s a watch cuff
Thinl it was an auto, wasn't it ?? :-)

I have a carbon-cased watch that I haven't managed to scratch in two years, but it's more a case of them not showing the minor marks, scuffs and swirlies that metal seems to have a gift for highlighting. In terms of a proper, deep scratch, the material is softer, but even then I think it will be much less obvious than with metal. I believe Breitlight is just a proprietary name for the usual carbon-based material.
Scratch resistant, but not wear resistant in the same way that steel is. Carbon edges can fray and look almost felted over time by rubbing on shirt sleeves etc.
Older forged carbon watches not a great look closeup.
If I’d spent £6k on Breitling's Avenger Hurricane (it has a breitlight® case), I’d be disappointed by the edges fraying over time!
I think Breitlight is a different material to forged carbon, its the carbon fibres that appear to fray so im not sure it would be an issue at all on polymer type cases like the Breitling one
beautiful. would buyDepends on the cuff. Who can forget the fresh hell of these when they appeared . . .
