So I mocked it up very roughly on paint 3D (my "photoshop" skills leave a little something to be desired but I think the result is good enough). I used the Bader bracelet but in particular I think a navy/blue bezel, white dial on the navy/blue rubber strap would look great in theory.

Tempted by both of the existing options anyway!

1. My 41mm BMT fits well but these are a tad smaller and my 8" wrist might swamp it a little!
2. They are all so nice, I'm struggling to find a favourite.
3. I'm not sure if this is the ultimate trident being banded about and don't want to jump the gun early, only to want a more higher specced model due imminently, I can probably only getting away with one purchase.

@nycWATCHnerd I'm tempted by the dual-purchase suggestion, not sure I have the expertise myself to do the dial swap though.

Neither do I, so I would send it off to someone I know who has done work for me before modifying Seiko watches:
NorthEast Watch Works
We both decide to purchase the watches, send them to NEWW, he swaps dial/movement assembly, them sends watches back to us. Unfortunately, I assume this might also void the CW warranty though technically there is no reason it should.

I am going to the NYC CW Event tonight and will see them in person and then report back

Thanks

Don't get me wrong, as a recent owner of a GMT (see lurid pic here), I'm looking forward to the inevitable limited edition Trident 30 Pro Titanium Elite that has the extra chapter ring for the second time zone whilst retaining the rotating bezel for the dive countdown. Not seen any other GMT watch that has this and really find it useful.
