I also thought the PVD hands / indicies / logo looked good with the standard black bezel. Would definitely be a cheaper option.

Well done, a great render.

Now that’s possibly the nicest CW I think I’ve ever seen! I’ll take one of those :D

Also, blackened hands on white dial might put me back in the running for a white dial again. This could be fun, I just wish I had some photoshop skills :lol:
I wonder how much extra the tooling for an embossed work-mark might add to each watch? I think it would open up the watch to more (or different ?) people as it wouldn't be as obvious on the dial and indeed could almost disappear when viewed from some angles just like the embossed flags can do.

If that was brought in I'd vote for the white dial/white date with painted surround and darker hands in the GMT - size wise ? my Mk2 Trident's have been 38mm but I think I'll do a visit to the showroom in the next week or so to compare sizes as the Mk3 38mm is missing the hour marker at 3 so looks a bit strange.

Great, thanks for doing that. My only observation would be that the black part of the GMT hand could probably do with being polished rather than black (the opposite of the original CW render), and maybe also the seconds hand. This will (I think) further improve legibility.

I revised my design S5 a bit - not perfect, but maybe you like it.
I would be glad about a version with Midnight Blue case.

This is a great mock up and would be my choice.

could I trouble you for the bezel in the light grey and darker grey from the two tone but as a single colour. I have no photoshop skills and have a feeling the lighter grey would look killer.

If you cant no worries I understand how time is precious, excuse the pun

That looks great, Excellent job there !

I'm still liking the two tone bezel a lot on these white dial Versions. Smoked glass dial is great looking too. Gonna be hard to choose between them both.

Just doing the dark grey. The only White ceramic bezel I've seen from CW didn't look all that great. More of a milky/opaque look.

Black on white looks too stark, in my opinion and also not that special.
I think it was nailed with the first grey bezel versions. There are not many watches with grey bezels.
