Looking for Feedback and Reference Photos...

Post by VelvetThunder »

Looking for any feedback/ references/ reviews of a few watches.
C60 Trident Pro 300 mk 3.1 (white dial) / Bronze 3.1
C65 Aquitaine Blue / Blue Blonze

I can't decide between either the Trident or Aquitaine.
I've never owned a bronze watch, are they worth dealing with green wrists for the beautiful look of aged bronze or is it merely a reference type of thing?

Does the Aquitaine wear extra small due to the shorter lug to lug size, or is it fairly negligible?

For back ground I've got 8in wrists. I commonly wear A Casio Royale as well as a Seiko SRPD95.

Any feedback and photos you can give are more than welcomed, I've searched the forum / reference gallery to no avail.

Thanks Yall!

The 42mm is a great size. I have smaller wrists about 6.5 inch but like a bigger watch. I have the black dial.

I have the older C60 600 bronze in 40mm, never have had a green wrist. It is my first bronze watch and love it. Most of my watches live on NATO's.

The difference between the c60 40mm & Aquitaine and Aquitaine & c60 42mm is slight

Green wrist with a Bronze watch is only really an issue if you have an all bronze bracelet, as available for the C65 Sandhurst Series II & Dune.

The upside is some fabulous patina. The downside? A green wrist; washes easily with soap and water.

Of course, you don't make an omelette without breaking eggs. :wink: :wink:

That patina is gorgeous 😍 I keep bouncing back and forth between going for the Blue Dial C60 Bronze and I think I'm slowly convincing myself to just do it!
