Re: C65 Trident Bronze SH21 LE £1850
I would agree this should be in 18k gold not bronze but RRP should be under £5k (on strap) not crazy Swiss pricing. Of course a bracelet changes the game dramatically.

But whether £9k or £14k is to a great degree irrelevant - I would not contemplate for a second paying that sort of money for a CW.
Time flies whether you're having fun or not. The choice is yours.

I agree Bob, wholeheartedly. I was merely highlighting the waffle from Richard who I'm fairly sure would not have been tempted at allBobMunro wrote:

On the other hand you could probably source an unworn RG FF for £20k, or preowned at £15k.BobMunro wrote:I agree it would look better if it were gold rather than bronze.reggie747 wrote:

There in lies the problem for CW if they launched a gold (not plated) watch who would buy it?
A collector with deep pockets looking for a gold dive watch, or something equally robust, could get the above, or something similar from another top brand.
They probably didn’t get to a position of having deep pockets by frittering money on a niche brand like CW, where the model would be a LE, likely available with only a small discount, but would drop like a dead falcon if you tried to move it on.
Using another example of someone who really wants a RG watch, as their best watch for high days (not holidays, given the seeming reluctance by most to take decent watches on holiday), to top off a collection including say Rolex, Omega etc, as well as their CWs, is hardly going to go the CW route, rather than pushing for a PP, albeit in dress style.
Keeping the small second style, Calatrava 5196R at £16,850 pre discount. Or similar quality, also full in-house, from a niche brand, a Moser Endeavour small second, at £11,500 pre discount and could probably be picked up for about £7k in a private sale.

Re: C65 Trident Bronze SH21 LE £1850
Mine arrive today, even though it was clearly marked with the value on the box it came sailing through with no taxes or duties owing.
I'm rather taken with it.

Congratulations. It will be very interesting to see how it looks once the patina starts to kick in.

Re: C65 Trident Bronze SH21 LE £1850
Yes, that will be interesting. I bought a C60 Trident Bronze Pro 600 earlier in the year in bronze and took it to Hawaii for 10 days. It spent a lot of time in the water, THAT accelerated the patina development!welshlad wrote:Congratulations. It will be very interesting to see how it looks once the patina starts to kick in.
I won't be taking this one swimming.
