Is this genuine?

Post by DISJT »

Browsing eBay and stumbled upon a Trident 300 with the old Chr.Ward logo.

Now, I own the orange bezel / black dial version of the same watch (C61), but the one on eBay has an "exhibition" case back and "automatic" is missing from the dial text.

The only images, I can find, that look remotely like it, are of the "Jumping hour" caseback on the salonqp website.... any thoughts?

Is it a frankenstein watch with a trident quartz dial on another movement, or a rare prototype of an early version of the Trident I'm unfamiliar with?

Easy mistake when listing 2 watches at the same time I suppose. If you are thinking about this one Chris, the white Trident dial (I have the Trident 600 with red bezel) is quite striking.

That was an easy one. Glad you figured it out.
