Re: Tribus Watches

Thanks everyone. I don't post reviews much so I didn't know if I broke some unwritten rule of doing so. I do like the watch, but just found it interesting that these details were overlooked or not considered at the more expensive price point. If I would have paid $2,000 for it, I would have returned...

Re: Tribus Watches

I absolutely did my research... I wouldn't have touched it at the $2,000 price... I got it at the fire sale. I started the review by saying "These are things I would have expected on a $2,000 watch". I didn't pay $2,000 for it. The brand started selling their watches AT $2,000, and they ha...

Re: Tribus Watches

I had a tri-04 on order from last November/December, delivery now promised early April. Enjoy it when it arrives. The Tri-04 is the best of the bunch I have a Tri-04. The watch looks stunning and I love the gunmetal case. I got it during the fire sale. Not only would I not have paid full price for ...

Re: C60 Sapphire

I have the black with no regrets at all. TBH, I would have chosen the blue as I think it looks better than the black. However, I already have enough blue watches and wanted to have the courage to try something different. Having had it for about six weeks or so here are some opinions: 1) 40mm is perf...

Re: I Know, I Know...(Logo Opinion)

I think the posts above capture all of my views of the logo. I was staunchly against the new logo, its positioning and the first iteration of the redone website (the first iteration was perhaps the worst offence of the three). Since then, I have not bought a CW with the new logo. However, I have got...

Re: Quality v. Steinhart

Thank you all for the advice. I have had the same issue (as above) with the bezel paint on my Steinhart. Great idea about the model paint. Thanks to all very much. Chip You can find videos on how to do this on YouTube. In the end it's easy, get the paint, the thinnest brush you can and some toothpi...

Re: Quality v. Steinhart

I have a Steinhart Ocean Vintage GMT. I find the quality generally similar to the three CW's that I own, including two Tridents. However, I think the Steinhart feels slightly better on the wrist and is more "efficient" in its case design... just seems and wears thinner. Also, about two wee...

Re: Question for all fellow canadians

Doesnt CWL charge GST or taxes if you use CAD? if so, it doesnt make sense why they would charge me again for the watch arriving in Canada A business has to have a GST/HST number before they charge it. I don't think companies that sell INTO Canada are required to have such a number and hence don't ...

Re: Does anyone ever notice/comment on your CW watch?

Years ago, I gave a speech to about 75 people in Toronto and wore my Trident-Pro (Mark I, I guess you call it now). I went for drinks with about a dozen audience members afterwards. When I checked the time, the guy sitting next to me said "I've been admiring your watch all night, and I know goo...

Re: The logo wins an award!

Even if they won an award for the logotype/font, they didn't win an award for the placement of the logotype at the 9:00 position on a watch!

Re: New Trident range now live!

Quick question for forum members: now that you had some time to digest the new logo, do you like,dislike or are neutral on the logo? lo I joined the forum because I disliked the new logo and wanted to say so. As it has been implemented over the past six months, I have generally been unimpressed as ...

Re: New Trident range now live!

They did have a red/white Trident for a while after people grumbled about a lack of white dials in the line. Ultimately all they all wound up on clearance as it seems only the black/white model was the good seller. I was never a big fan of the white Tridents personally as they lacked the colored de...

Re: So far not impressed

16 weeks is a typical service or repair time for most big Swiss brands. You will be very lucky to get an Omega for example back in 8 weeks. But the difference is that when you buy an Omega your contract is with the shop where you bought it, so if it fails in the first three months you can make pers...

Re: C1 Grand Malvern Preview

A splash of colour on the PR may also be hard to implement on the Blue and Black dials.
