Re: New Khaki C65 Trident Diver
Having seen that one for real it was not a colour combo that I found appealing.
However, the C65 Diver is a beautiful watch and I am completely smitten with my blue one.

Re: New Khaki C65 Trident Diver
It's not bad at all, but I reckon it might have looked better with a stainless insert.
I will say that these C65s are best judged in person.
The case is a absolute stonker!
Slightly off topic, but it'd be nice to see CW carry this green dial over to the C65 vintage model (and the blue).
That's crying out for another dial variant.

Agree with that.
That’d look good.

Well I was kind of right, you did have a green dialled C65 Trident DiverBahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Wed Nov 14, 2018 6:37 pmDream on, Patrick.Thegreyman wrote:Was it the prototype of this model that Guy picked up....or have I just imagined that.
My C65 Trident Diver P'type is the 'one that got away' having a green dial and khaki bezel; as opposed to khaki dial and black dial on the production model.
As for the production model being more olive green than khaki, having seen the production model in the metal, I will advocate that the colour of the dial is pretty true to being khaki.
I like it and have the quandary as to get one as well as my prototype.
Guy
I had no idea they were bringing out this variant. From the photos, I think I prefer yours Guy to the stock model.

Re: New Khaki C65 Trident Diver
two things...
It's green.
Guy's one off is much nicer in my eyes and the one they should have made

Re: New Khaki C65 Trident Diver
I really like it, but will probably have to part with my mk2 khaki (olive green) bezel trident if I’m going to buy.

Re: New Khaki C65 Trident Diver
It's a nice watch but as others have pointed out it's not Khaki, it's olive drab. But I presume you can't call say with any panache "The art of camouflage ~ Our latest C65 Trident Diver goes olive drab" In any case it's a good looking watch as the entire C65 Trident line is (I have two).

I see you have a C65 Trident Bronze SH21 - I'd be very interested in your opinions on it please.

Re: New Khaki C65 Trident Diver
I quite like it, but I'll wait for the inevitable orange dial version... mmm how about a nice deep burnt orange colour with a black bezel...
Re: New Khaki C65 Trident Diver
Quick frankly I think it's a fantastic watch, I am really glad I bought it. I think the patina is developing a little more slowly than the C60 Pro 600 but no matter. I took my C60 Pro 600 swimming in the ocean soon after purchase and that sped up the patina process.StrapMeister wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 10:08 pmSomewhat of a high-jackLawrence wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:53 pm It's a nice watch but as others have pointed out it's not Khaki, it's olive drab.

Re: New Khaki C65 Trident Diver
Alternative take on the olive drab.

A nice watch but the CW is better made and with a better strap.

Re: New Khaki C65 Trident Diver
Like many here, I prefer Guy's version although I wouldnt mind the production one either. Will hopefully have a chance to view in person before purchasing.
