Very cool! Thank you richtel. It’s nice when a brand cares about the community.

Personally I am pretty exited about the Titanium model(s) as I get a nasty reaction to 316L due to the nickel content. Although a little worried that 1000m WR will make them even thicker...

It’s not the 9 o’clock logo by any chance Mikkei?
Your pet hate? :lol:

Shame, looks like a nice watch.

This social media approach with teasers and creating hype by CW with introducing a new model is a first and may include financial or other compensation (keep the watch) for the influencers. So it is not always obvious they just do this out of generosity and being nice to the community. They are a business and paid promotion through social media influencers on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and other channels is big business these days, depending on the number of followers you have. If there is no compensation, it is still free exposure for them.

^^^Im sure you are spot on with all this Frank and it accords with what I’ve read. I’m sure however we can exclude Guy from the “only in it for the money” social media mercenaries!

C'mon Paul. It's not that bad. :shock: Top quality Gekota Vintage Bond NATO. :D

Seriously, I was wearing the MkIII on NATOs yesterday and today to negate the risk of scratching the bracelet that is with the watch; remember this watch is our Win a C60 Trident Pro 600 MKIII watch. It will also come with a Cordura® Hybrid strap. (Entries close 23:59hrs BST tomorrow, Friday).

Certainly, the new MkIII looks great on a bracelet and, should you wish to change, the quick release pins make it a two second task to remove each end and about ten seconds to fit. :thumbup:

Quite correct Patrick.

As a member of the Forum Admin Team, I don't even get the opportunity to win the watch. :(

I could be completely wrong but aren't there laws that now require any "Influencers" to announce any sort of compensation within the post as it's considered advertisement?

Ha, yeah I sure it's not charity.
I know I am being influenced, but I rather this way than through an F1 sponsorship that would double the prices :-)

That case looks thicker than my MK2 GMT

It's the GMT and the regular C60 is most likely thinner.

Guy, can you comment on the dimensions or is that also part of the embargo?
