But, I’m gonna guess Black C65 Trident Auto.
As you bought it today at CW Towers.

Congratulations. :thumbup:
Oh, Blast! You guessed correctly, my friend.
Next one will be more tricky :-)
Next one? Can’t wait

^^^^ 😂.

Great choice pal.
Although I’m looking at the blue in either the handwound OR auto. When I was there I fell in love with the hand wound version.

I’ll stick with this today, and probably the next week or so :-)

I love the look and feel, I just need to make sure that timekeeping etc is good. Once my new straps are delivered I might even risk fighting it off pits bracelet

Don't wear it very often but every time I do I just wish it was a little smaller and a little thinner.

"Interesting" Guy...I can see what you meant yesterday.

If the snakeskin was slightly yellower, it might have been an inspired choice - still a cool strap though :thumbup:

Wow, interesting strap as always Guy. I'm guessing that has found it's way to you from Spain (Mansarea)?

Possibly, in response to Steve's comment, the yellow is a closer colour match in the flesh than conveyed in these photos?

My new strap arrived (black, vintage oak leather, XS size) so I am putting to to good use in the C65 Auto.

Inspired to try some arty black and white shots to match the looks of the watch:

I used to own one (the first CW I bought) and know what you mean; the 7750 makes it quite a chunky watch but it didn't bother me.

Have you ever though of swapping it out for a variant of the, smaller & slimmer, C1 Grand Malvern?
