Re: CW Blog - Creating waves....
Is there a reason why the photos on the blog are such low quality (blurred, low resolution)?
The full sized ones are fine when clicked on, but the resizing algorithm makes them look pretty bad when you're reading the blog...

Seems like quite an open and honest chat.
Talking about the clear influence of the sub,
Unhappy with the lume
Unhappy with the alignment issues
Though not too sure about this:

It’s also received critical acclaim from owners and watch critics alike, who almost universally acknowledge that this is probably the value watch of its type available today. Oh, and it looks really cool

No photo issues here on CPU, Ipad or phone.
Agree about the ink spot.

Re: CW Blog - Creating waves....
Is the Trident MKII not one of the best values available today though, especially when it's on sale? I mean the Trident competes every bit as much with the Oris Aquis which officially retails for double the price of the C60. With the 5 year warranty, isn't that an amazing value? I truly feel like we've all just got the steal of the year with those amazing blue PRO 600s half-off. I love mine and can't believe what I actually paid for it.sproughton wrote:Though not too sure about this:

Re: CW Blog - Creating waves....
I think you need to compare RRP, rather than sales price. But either way I'm not suggesting it isn't a great value watch, merely that Mike is wording it very strongly. How can someone say it's almost universally acknowledged to be the value watch of its type? That is a pretty bold statement.

Re: CW Blog - Creating waves....
Quite an amazing statement as they have to regularly cut the price by 50% to sell them. I suggest universally no-one has heard of them! Wouldn't CW and MF be better employed sorting out the returns and servicing departments?sproughton wrote:I think you need to compare RRP, rather than sales price.
