Ralf: Would you ever consider making a diver out of tungsten carbide? It would be the ideal diver as it would be very scratch resistant. I'm on the waiting list for a tungsten carbide watch that's coming out this June. The only thing is that it's not a diver. I would definitely put money down for a Benarus made out of tungsten carbide. You get the styling and quality of Benarus with the beautiful color of tungsten. And the watch would be almost scratch proof! |

What about the DLC option Ralf mentioned might be possible for the Megalodon? Sounds like that is very scratch resistant. Tungsten carbide is used for cutting tools, would probably be a real pain to make a complex shape out of, like a watch case and bracelet! |

But it's not cheap. |

I guess DLC is good too, although I don't think DLC is as tough as tungsten carbide. |

I have already asked for Tungsten, maybe I am wrong but I was told it is always shiny you cannot brush. I think that is right because how will you brush a metal that is scratch resistant? The DLC is sure an option, but I first want to know the exact price. My latest info is that the $130 is for one piece and not for one watch. If that is correct I guess it is not very interesting. But I can always offer even if it is expensive, that is not the problem. Lets wait till next week than I should know more. |

Ralf what watch are you considering with the tungsten case? I guess it would have to have a tungsten bracelet as well right, call it the Benarus Indestructo.....Dan |

I had no specific case in my mind , but when I heard it is always glossy I lost the interest. I see that not many are interested in a glossy case finish and I cannot order only a few. suitekids wrote: Ralf what watch are you considering with the tungsten case?
