Re: C60 Trident Bronze Pro 600 / patina
How do you go about forcing a patina with ammonia and salt? Is it all just experimentation or have you found others have documented their experiences to use as a guide, and if so would I be able to find them on this forum? I think it looks great! Have a Google, you'll find something. Sent from my C...

Re: Barton straps - import duties and RM costs
I bought a Barton elite silicone strap from Amazon UK a couple of months ago. No import duties, came in at about £20 if I remember rightly. It wasn't for a CW though. On the whole, I'm happy with it. There's a 'lock' on one of the two watch bands, and it can be a bit fiddly to get that working, but ...

Re: I'm new here and honestly...
So, I ordered both as I couldn't decide between colours. In the end, it was something else that put me off the blue version. Something pretty obvious in the last picture here...

Re: Trident Elite 1000 LE - running slowly - advice please
I was so disappointed with my watch back in September 2019, that I have not worn it since.
Until last week, when I was messing about with straps.
It's running at +1 per day now... which is more than acceptable.
Who knew that automatics could be so quirky?

Agreed. This has been very badly thought out. It's crass, plain and simple.

Lockdown strap mashup.
How bored am I???
I think the Bronze GMT works quite well on the hybrid strap. Not sure about the Elite on a vintage oak but I'll give it few days.
Thoughts?

Re: Selling on Ebay
Sorry - no interesting eBay stories.
Are you going to relist? If so, a link would be appreciated.

Re: Is it just me mourning the demise of 43mm?
I'd love a MK2, sans guilloche, same colourway as the Blue Trident Elite LE. And with the MK3 hands!

Re: Is it just me mourning the demise of 43mm?
Hi Guy, I'm interested to know why you think that. Is there a difference in the visible dial diameters MK2 v MK3? Or rather, is the bezel on a MK3 deeper than a MK2. 44mm I could live with, 45mm is dinner plate territory :-) Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Nothing scientific about it Ian. Just ...

Re: Is it just me mourning the demise of 43mm?
I also preferred the proportions (appearance) of the MK2 but recognise the uplift in quality on the MK3. A MK3 at 43mm... I wish, but it's not going to happen :-( Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk To my mind to get a C60 Trident Mk3 to wear with the same wrist presence as the 43mm C60 Trident MkI...

Re: Is it just me mourning the demise of 43mm?
I agree that the Mark3 42mm version does appear quite a lot smaller than the previous Mark2 43mm version. However with my wrist size being about 18.5cm in circumference, I much prefer the 42mm size as it feels more comfy and I think it looks better sized for me. I realise that this is very much dow...
