I agree 100%
I read a while back that another member on one of the forums broke his GMT2c insert after he dropped the watch on a tile floor. When he sent it to Rolex they wanted to full service it (to make sure the movement was ok after the fall) at a cost of $1200 give or take, inc bezel and insert.
I have not owned a ceramic rolex yet as I am a vintage guy, so I cant say if its more durable than the old metal inserts, but if i had a new Sub or GMT then i would be really carefull with it.
