Trident pro 300 steel insert offset at 6!

Post by abeardsley2020 »

I have previously ordered 2 blue trident pro 300 dove watches In blue on both the steel insert at the 6pm market has been misaligned to the right by a couple of mm. Can I see you trident pro300 a with a square on photo to see if this fault is on all of them? I’ve attached one of the ones I had as a reference below.

Are you referring to the whole bezel or just the inner steel ring?

I ask because, to me, the marker on the ring is perfectly aligned, centered, with the '30’ on the bezel.

Are you absolutely certain that you are taking the photo exactly head on; remember that, presuming you are using a smart phone, the camera lens is offset to the side (phone held for a landscape orientation).

Hi it was visible by eye photo just for illustration. If you look at the steel bezel and the indice on the dial they are off. I can see what you saying though.

Oh that makes me worried. I have my 38mm on pre-order for Feb so I won't know until I receive it.

Was the 2 x Trident Pro 300's you received the 42mm size?

Here's a shot of my 40mm in white. Thankfully, mine seems to look spot on. So I don't think it's a global problem, based on a very small sample size. . .

This looks like a bezel offset as opposed to the insert being misaligned, which can usually be fixed easily by applying a little heat and firmly coaxing it in the right direction.

Did your 38mm line up mate?

Yea, the steel inner ring perfectly aligns.

For the bezel there's very minuscule back play, almost unnoticeable but the alignment is also fine.

I picked up mine as NN at the end of the sale. I’m saving up my thoughts for a 6 month review. But to help here’s mine.
