Re: C65 Trident Diver #0070

Nice one.

I've always thought it looked better on a strap, but your photos are making me see the bracelet in a new light.

Re: Where's the blob? C65 Auto

Great video, apart from the typo.

Normally I prefer battons to blobs, but this once looks really good.

I hate the logo at 9, but the rest of the package looks so good I could even forgive that and make it my first lefty-logo piece.

My favorite:

Re: Urban Gentry Review of the C65 Trident GMT

Deluge of negative comments on the logo/branding, CW are alienating too many - time to admit they got it wrong and I say that as somebody who has no objection while owning a a new logo model (name at 12 though).

Re: C8 M2.04 Limited Edition

I'm sure they'll sell, lots of people love Concorde.

However, I think there's an even bigger market for a piece that looks like this, without the scrap metal, at more normal price.

It looks fantastic in the metal.

Also helps that the logo is in the conventional place. :silent:

Re: January Sale 2019

The C7 Auto Chrono is a bargain at 50% off.
If I hadn't have seen it at the GTG, I would never have considered it, but absolutely love it now.

That looks the nuts.

I've always been wary of TF due to Eddie's unique approach to warranty and customer service.

At that price, could be a goer though.

Re: Wine advice

Personally, I can't stand all these new world reds.

I'll take a Bordeaux all day long. Especially a Saint Emilion, ever had a bad one.

Re: Question regarding the C65 Handwind

I always thought it was confusing having two completely different watches with such similar names. Especially since the 'vintage' moniker is attached to the one that looks less vintage. Here's a C65 Trident Vintage: c65-trident-vintage-range_1.jpg Here's a C65 Trident Diver: c65-41h3h1-s0bb0-vc_3d.j...

I'd prefer 'Mike France' at 12 to anything at 9.

Not sure he'd go for it though :D

Re: Small-wrist Blues for Enthusiasts of New Watches

The manufacturers decide what to make next based on projected sales figures. These are based on either sales of their own existing models, or competitors. To get more small watches to be made, you need to convince people to buy smaller watches. It's no use badgering the manufacturers, if they won't ...
