Anyone using the new 12.2 gram WSOP chips

Hi
Someone posted a photo of some WSOP chips that had been kept in their pocket for a while to check durability.
The photos were a turnoff with the logo badly worn etc.
On a couple of revues I read they both said they couldn't damage the chips very easily and that the logos weren't labels but printed on deeply.
I really like the look of these chips and would like others opinions.
Thanks

I posted those pictures but can't for the life of me find them again on this site.
but I'll say again i recommend the coin version, the others were great until the wear test which turned me against them, you can't possibly wear out the coin version.

These our the pictures in question,i got samples of these chips and did a wear test on them, keeping them on me at all times for a month, was i too harsh on the chips, can't say, but i would like to think a chip would hold up better then that, and was very surprised myself to see the wear on the label, if it had been a pressed in linen i think i wouldn't have seen so much wear.
A real shame because i really liked the chip until the wear thing----but there is hope, they have the same set with coin insert although i don't have samples of them.

On a personal note, I'm a denom guy all the way, but some chips even without denoms can have an effect on you, maybe it's the" WORLD SERIES OF POKER" logo that got to me! Man if they had them with denoms I'd be all over them, as long as they fixed the wear thing or put the denom on the coin.

Wow Deejay, those don't look so good...
That's just from being in your pocket for a month?
