You should send that to HQ, an olive drab dial kinda slaps.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote:^^^^ the colour hue is probably due to me sitting under a primrose yellow awning; filtering the sun.

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
Congratulations to all those who have already bought a Lumiere. The more pictures I see of it, the more I'm sure - it won't make it into my collection!
Even though the Globolight indices look great in the dark, in the daytime (and sorry about that) it looks like the dial of a £100 plastic watch.
I'm sorry if I've taken the fun out of this watch for one or two people - but that's just my opinion

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
I agree - at first I was excited because I’ve seen the way the solid lume blocks work on the Vertex M100. The lume is spectacular, so kudos to CW for going down that path, but in daylight the effect is less impressive.Kalli64 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 9:08 am Congratulations to all those who have already bought a Lumiere.

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
This is the one I'd mostly go for if I was pulling the trigger
What are those square markers on the steel ring inside the bezel? Are they dots or holes to line up the numbers on the bezel?

Fantastic photo - so much better than the website ones. They would sell more if they had this on the website.welshlad wrote:Joined the club today
Now waiting to see a real life pic of the blue dial.

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
They are fixed 5-minute markers, slightly indented and painted black. I'm not sure they are completely necessary, but they add to the aesthetic.
Your comment just made me try moving the bezel for the first time, and it feels very impressive and secure, and seems a step up in quality over CW's previous bezel movements (which were pretty good anyway).

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
Just wish there was a plain blue (with no gradient) dial..... Maybe some future iterations?!

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
I agree for the most part, I love almost everything besides the size, lack of date and crazily the fact that's it's Ti. I like some heft to my watches.Kalli64 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 9:08 am Congratulations to all those who have already bought a Lumiere.

Ironically it's what gave me the final push to scoop up a C60 Blue Bronze (I'm currently impatiently waiting on it's arrival) I waited for the release of this watch in hopes it would call my attention...it did not

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
Yes, I got the bracelet as well. But I like to try a watch on a strap to start with to make sure I'm happy with it before I resize the bracelet.kev017 wrote:Looks great. Did you get the bracelet too? I think I prefer this colour on the rubber.
I'm pretty sure I'll be happy enough to put the bracelet on soon.

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
Steve, you've never struck me as an ey up / ay up kinda guy. I shall think of thee differently from now on. Besides, isn't this a tool watch? Holy nuanced nomenclatures batman!Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2024 2:36 pm Well, I knew that I wouldn’t be buying this when I understood it was a dive watch. That was me off the hook. When I first saw the teaser I thought, “Ayup, Minas Morgul”.

Lume is not essential to me. I don’t mind a touch of it but I like it to be subtle. I don’t think subtle was in the lexicon when this was designed. I’m sure it will be popular.

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
Maybe I've just missed a big discount but at September 2nd the watch is listed no at £500 but at £1468?

The Delma Shell Star is quite similar and drops the COSC spec for 500 quid.

Re: C60 Trident Lumiere
@tikkathree Grew up in the Potteries, Pete. “Ayup” was common coin there as in Yorkshire. Me grandfeyther spock nowt but Potteries dialect.
Gotham City. That’s a good analogy for the teaser as well!
