They do look very thin. Might suit something smaller and thinner (C3/C5 territory) but definitely not the thicker case of a diver.

I've done bracelet, leather and rubber strap. I like the rubber strap the most, works anywhere anytime. The bracelet scratches easily and collects dirt in between links. The rubber is great and takes all sorts of abuse and still looks good.

Yours is on a brushed C65 bracelet, and you have brushed the case, and you still chose the C60 bracelet??? :?

Mines on a nato at the moment but I like the black rubber it came with I don't think the bracelet goes with the orange bezel.

I agree. I think orange makes the Trident a great casual watch that suits rubber/NATO/Zulu perfectly 8)

One of these (but with the old logo) is high on my wish-list:

Despite what the poll suggests, and the fact that I have also voted for the bracelet, the c60 does look pretty good on a nato.

The solution is, always buy the watch on a bracelet and then buy a nato later on, should work out cheaper, especially since there are not after market bracelets for the c60 with solid links

I would also go with bracelet. It's a diver so sort of makes sense.

Having said that have had mine on leather nato recently. Perhaps that's more the casual side of smart casual though.

I have a 22mm CW bracelet but I cannot make it fit this watch.

I put on an aftermarket bracelet but couldn't get on with it as (a) too bulky and (b) straight 22mm width to clasp. Found I prefer a taper to the clasp on a bracelet.

Apology for the poor photos.

The recent XL straps clearance seemed an ideal opportunity to try a new look for the C60...

£20 for brown leather with Bader deployant was too good an offer to miss :D

I voted for the C60 bracelet as I think it works well with the watch.

You might consider a Maratac (possibly with white stitching) as they are very practical and comfortable to wear (far better than rubber straps).

Ultimately that's the way I will almost certainly go, but this new look actually has me wearing the watch for the first time in months, so must be good :)

What's one of those when it's at home? :?
