What time is it? Watches and horology

Is the bezel aluminium?

Mr muscle oven cleaner should fuck it up in short order if it's aluminium (as in etched and then a puddle of goop).

what's the finish? Anodising, paint, ceramic? If ano, then a UV bulb might fade it.
Ceramic, it would be fun to see if heating with a gas torch then plunging into ice water would crack the finish like spider web.

That actually look good witjjou the bezel, like a combination of Unimatc and Brando.
