The polished looks too glitzy!
If a brushed finish bracelet was available as an option, i would have already bought one, instead of one with the leather strap.

I'm sure I remember reading elsewhere on this forum that the C65 brushed bracelet fits the Trident, at least the Mk I; not sure about the Mk II though...

Ironically, the watch was supplied on a bracelet in error. I swapped it for the leather strap originally ordered as I wanted something dfferent to my Seamaster.

Hindsight being the wonderful thing that it is I now know I shouldn't have bothered, but do agree that the brushed (C65) bracelet looks better than the brushed/polished (C60) one.

The brushed isn't officially available as an option, but CWL are often very accommodating if a swap is requested at point of order. My C4, only offered on leather or bracelet officially, was supplied on rubber with no issue

The bracelet fits both, it's the leather straps that don't.

Slim got very bolshie this morning. He knew that today was a special day at the Anthropomorphic Horological Maternity Unit, and insisted that it was his right to be around for the arrival of the Flea (or to use his other nickname, Mixi) - Slim is a straight bâton kind of guy and cannot cope with either Arabs or Romans! He said that if he was confined to barracks again today he would be collecting his P45 and hitching a lift aboard the snail boat to the Grey Havens, to go and join his friends Alky Harrison and Mason the Goat Persecutor. I promised him that he could play the whole match today and wouldn't be substituted at half time. He believed me, of course, but then Slim has always been easy to wind up – apart from when he was broke!

Dear Mister Omnia,
He would be welcome here with me and Girry the secret Goat Petsecutor (sic). I an not Alky: just choosy with whom I fly. The local airline does not do Dom P!

Dear Mister Omnia,
Please pass on this message in its entirety. It follows on from that which I left, yesterday.
"Dear Mister Slimline, if you are cross about broken promises, please contact me. Both Girry and I would welcome you into this household. The only thing is, everything is a bit upside down here so your mechanism will feel odd.
Good wishes from the safe haven,
Mister Harrison"
PS my owner is sympathetic with yours: says the fleabag looks stunning!
