Gutted there is no mark 3 trident. But half expected it. Do they add more to the sale items, or will there be a new 100 off voucher?

I must have asked CW at least three times over the years if they had a back-of-the-sofa bracelet for the mk1 and was always told no, sold out. I was delighted therefore to pick one up in the sale for $15 - it must cost CW more than that to ship it to me.

Interesting that they were sold out - but you bought one, I bought one and they are still showing as available. Unless the dreaded cancellation email is yet to come.

Know this isn't the right place for this question but I need some quick advise. Picked up a c65 trident diver (first hand wound piece). Anyone know which bracelets fit on it? Noticed some 22mm bracelets for the c60 and c65 classic on the sale but the lady at CW I spoke to wasn't sure if they would fit or not. Anyone have know if the sale straps will fit? Happy hunting all.

I suspect that they found a small box of them that they didn't know they had at the back of a cupboard somewhere. They don't look exactly like the original C3 bracelets, so they may be some prototypes rejected at the time (but which still fit) and now being sold off at a bargain basement price. But as long as they fit, that's fine with me.

Hi Guys, you may be able to help, I have a c30 that always looked a little underwhelming - do you think this bracelet (C3) will fit as fundamentally the 30 is a 3 with COSC movement if Im not mistaken?

Thank you for the PM "Soporsche"!

Unfortunately I am not able to answer via PM for the moment.

Anyway, I am still unsure If buying the "nearly new" model is a good choice for me.

I just hope there will be a discount code available soon for the new pieces, as I will be celebrating my 30th birthday in Feb. and I want a Bronze watch (either the C60, or the Steinhart Ocean one).

I've had a look through the available 'nearly new' bracelets and none of them will fit the C65 Trident Diver, as this has different, slimmer, lugs compared to the C60 Trident and C65 Trident Classic.

The bracelet you will need for the C65 Trident Diver is one of these.

You will have to pay full price for it but, as you will be getting the Black or Khaki C65 Trident Diver at half price, it sort of balances out.

Another point to think of, is that all the Nearly New bracelets are 'old school' needing regular spring bars to fit to your watch; whereas the new one (linked above) has the latest 'Quick Release' pins.

Hope this helps and good luck.

I took a punt in the end, picked up a 38mm white dial and red bezel mk2 Trident for £350.

Not overly keen on the bracelet with the shiny mid link so will likely keep my eye out for a black hybrid strap if I decide to keep it
