nicely done, why not consider 40mm C60 homage? it will be sales like hot cake as CW don't have it now, i bet lot of CW fans will buy 40mm C60 for a try as the price is cheap.

^^^ because that would mean them doing their own r&d which is where the money is at.
At the moment, it'll be a case of 3D scanning the existing product and manufacturing it, unless they've somehow got the CAD files for it.

it is pretty easy to convert CAD or related file after the 3D scanner screen.StrappedUp wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 8:28 am ^^^ because that would mean them doing their own r&d which is where the money is at.

Even without cad file, they can do that with 3D file scaling to become 40mm, or scaling with percentage.
that is so call fast track R&D: Review and Duplicate

Re: C60 Homage
I think most real CW fans will wait for the Trident mk3, expected shortly and now coming in 38/40/42mm sizes I believe.

Agreed things can be scaled, but there's a little more complexity to it than just scaling an existing model up/down.Vwatch wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 9:01 amit is pretty easy to convert CAD or related file after the 3D scanner screen.StrappedUp wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 8:28 am ^^^ because that would mean them doing their own r&d which is where the money is at.

Things like crown tube, movement holder/internals, lug widths etc would all have to be modified to correct sizes. I'm not saying it's impossible, but would require effort.
I'm not sure these "manufacturers" are aiming to get into that sort of stuff. I've been wrong before though
I, for one, would love CW to produce a 40mm C60 as long as the lug-lug length is not overcooked. The current 38mm C60 doesn't work for me anymore, with the diameter/height ratio being a major factor.
Anyway, in the meantime I'm interested to hear Gary's thoughts on the homage.

No.
Since the copyright law does not apply in China, the maker of cases for CW and also the maker of dials and hands just continued to produce them or sold blueprints to another company.
Nothing new.
Every single modern object is either made or assembled from parts made in China.
...
...please don't tell me you think CW cases are made in Switzerland or Britain?

Re: C60 Homage
Of course they are. I've always been under the impression that Mike France hand carves each case with a pocket knife then Peter Ellis applys a lick of Cape Cod to finish up.sinner777 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:29 amErm.StrappedUp wrote:^^^ because that would mean them doing their own r&d which is where the money is at.

I hope I'm not wrong
My comment was in relation to the suggestion that they should produce a 40mm version. This doesn't exist, unless I've been asleep all this time and missed something?? So yeh, they'd need to do some work rather than manufacture a direct copy of an existing product.
Also see my 2nd comment (highlighted) about having the CAD files for the C60

Oh. Missed that one. Pardon me.
It also bugged me, 38 and 42 trident. 40 would be great

Gents, good news. As confirmed by Steve (@welshlad) who was at the Edinburgh GTG, the new Trident will come in 38/40/42mm sizes

Re: C60 Homage
Thanks Patrick, I didn't realise it was confirmed. Thought it was a rumour!
My initial comment re. 40mm was about Heimdallr making one.
I've kind of got my heart set on the 39.5mm Aquis, but a 40mm Trident may have me thinking again.
For me, it needs to be spot on to beat the latest Oris though.

Re: C60 Homage
Given that CWL changed case suppliers between the MkI and MkII Tridents, it’s entirely possible that the previous case makers are now selling the same cases to the makers of these watches.sinner777 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:29 amErm.StrappedUp wrote:^^^ because that would mean them doing their own r&d which is where the money is at.

Trying not to buy any more watches...
Re: C60 Homage
Out of nothing more than idle curiosity I ordered one of the above mentioned watches, in all things, green.
Last night I received this email from HIEMDALLR
