Re: Trident Pro 300 Preview
I like the green 42mm as I don’t have a green in my collection, but don’t fancy the screw links.
Would’ve been a no brainer with collar/pin.
The strap variations seem a bit random. None seem to enhance the case. In fact, for me, they detract from it.
Not sure what to do!!!, probably dither then pass.

Re: Trident Pro 300 Preview
Was Mike saying the screws on the bracelet are one-sided instead of double-sided? My understanding was that the process to machine the screws within acceptable tolerances for one-sided applications was not available for the Aquitaine launch but is now, but I wasn't certain if I heard that right.

They did say the screw link was different in this than in the Aquitaine so possibly it's improved.TheBeatles wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 5:51 pm I like the green 42mm as I don’t have a green in my collection, but don’t fancy the screw links.

My apologies. You are correct.

Re: Trident Pro 300 Preview
Yes, the screwed links have been improved since the Aquitaine and Sealander 36mm. They are now screwed on only one side, which means that you only need two hands to remove them, not three!NationOfLaws wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 5:53 pmThey did say the screw link was different in this than in the Aquitaine so possibly it's improved.TheBeatles wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 5:51 pm I like the green 42mm as I don’t have a green in my collection, but don’t fancy the screw links.

They should be much easier to use and adjust, with much lower chance of damaging the bracelet. In other words, my advice would be not to let the screwed links put you off.

Re: Trident Pro 300 Preview
Quite nice for a swimming watch. I’ll leave it to the fans though - the Sealander GMT gives me all the holiday swimmability I need.

Re: Trident Pro 300 Preview
Will there be a voucher? I recall people complaining about the constant availability of vouchers (which seemed bizarre, but whatever) and Mike saying that would be "fixed."

Manual wind, box crystal, and it's almost a C65.

The next voucher may be just enough of a nudge for me to pull the trigger

Re: Trident Pro 300 Preview
I don't know. But I would say that when I adjusted my C63 36mm bracelet, there seemed to be less loctite applied than on my Aquitaine bracelet. I didn't need to apply heat to undo the links, for example, which I did need to for the Aquitaine. But that's just my experience; others may have had a more difficult time than me.
