I would like to see a 38mm C63 Sealander offered in Marine Blue, or even Dragonfly Blue, but don't know how likely it is that they would add a model in that size when they already offer it in 36mm and 39mm.

I would also be very interested in a C65 Dune in Marine Blue with white lume instead of the Old Radium lume it currently uses.

Welcome. Do please visit the Member Introduction section and tell us about yourself. 8)

I agree that a 38 mm Sealander would probably not be likely given that the larger version is only 1 mm bigger. I have one of the GMT models and it’s very wearable.

Having just become the proud owner of the C65 Aquitaine I think the natural successor to this would be a 39mm version, with COSC movements in all case materials. I also think they should drop the trident seconds counterweight keeping it to just for the C60 Trident range….. After all that’s the signature seconds hand for that model, but it seems kinda out of place in other ranges, in my opinion anyway.

I personally love the trident counterweight, but I'm not a really big fan of the Trident line. So having it on the Aquitaine made it perfect for me. To each his own.

I do love it in the Trident range and think it’s CW’s signature Mercedes hand moment, but don’t see the point in using it in other models, It kinda devalues it in my opinion.

The C60 Trident Pro 300 on the CW website now has applied logo. I think this is new? Pretty sure that wasn’t the case when I was looking a month or so ago.

Edited: I meant logo, not indices

Applied logo you mean? It looks rather good!

Would the 1mm from 39mm to 38mm really make a difference to your view of the Sealander? I can barely see 1mm on a measuring rule !
I know "Never say Never" but I would never expect CW to release a 3rd size in range of an existing watches that's smaller by 1mm unless they are re-vamping the whole design.

I think it's always had applied indices but the applied logo is relatively recent. 2023 Pro300s on eBay show the "painted" logo.

I've got a few watches in my cart but none are perfect... i kinda was hoping for a new sapphire, a smaller one maybe based on the c63 instead of the c60. might i might end up pulling the trigger on a c63 anyway tho.

There's no such thing as a perfect watch.

Yeah i know, which makes it hard to pull the trigger on any one particular one, since this is going to be my first CW.

The fact that you have a few in your basket and not one you love make me question your purchase. Are you buying because you think it’s a deal, cos you just need a watch or some other reason?

Would be great to see something like this while maintaining the same beat rate. Curious in general if they’ll lean more heavily into the engineering/technical side.
I think CW will limit it's up market potential if it it continues to rely on the SW200.
