I see that they're allowing pre-orders for the Ocean One Black. Is the ceramic inlay worth it as an upgrade? What are the benefits?

I purchased one last month and while I only had it for a day or two before it was sent back for a minor repair I can tell you it looks great on the watch. I previously had the Ocean 1 Vintage Red with the aluminum bezel insert and the ceramic one that came with the Ocean 1 Black was much nicer. Besides looks, the main difference is that ceramic is more scratch resistant than aluminum, and its more resistant to fading so it'll maintain its sheen and color and will keep your watch looking like new longer. Its worth the upgrade IMHO, I'd definitely get it.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
I replaced my aluminium inlay on my O1 GMT with ceramic, and think it really lifts the watch up a notch. Hard to pick between in and my GMT-II in a quick look
