Cool William...Thanks very much for posting up for us non-FB's!!!
I agree with you...looks like some sort of prototype bezel using domed, black acrylic (looks too rough in finish to be ceramic to me).
I'm thinking this is a prototype effort for the possibility of doing a domed, all-sapphire bezel insert (maybe with luminous markers and numbers!)...which would look really cool IMO.
The smooth, non-marker bezel makes me think that he is considering doing this bezel in Ceramic with lume at the pip for the smooth one and lume on the markers/numbers for the other (That would look really cool to).
Gives a very different look to the Kazimon 1500 for sure.
Hmm, I don't know about the ceramic amigo: Don't think that it was the idea... It might be just as it is: As a Blanc-Pain 50 Fathoms vintage version without the varnish finish...?
Note also that all ceramic bezels you see on affordable watches are made in Hong-Kong and Kazimon has everything made in Germany.
My guess is that a low number production in ceramic, as there was about 100 pieces of the steel version 1500 ever made, would be a very expensive part if made in Germany...
