The Dartmouth in a very dark grey/charcoal would be superb.

I don't know how to do photoshop but if one of our experts could make a mock up it would be much appreciated.

I agree that the old Trident hands are a no, as they don’t currently feature on a C65 model, or for that matter a C60.
The classic Trident hands are currently featured and available:
Just thought the classic Trident details were a nice fit with the vintage case and bezel design of the Dartmouth. The modern arrow/stick hands of the new C60/Darthmouth don't look very good on the C65, in my honest opinion. And the stick hands of the other C65s look very dull and lack any imagination.

Ah good point Frank. It’s a long time since I looked at the CW website. I was getting confused with the C60 Mk3 that I saw at a GTG.
I am not really bothered what hands are used. It’s the “Dartmouth dial layout” that has made it a likely to buy for me.

That was always my thought. However, after owning a C65 GMT for a brief period, the bevelled edges combined with brushed/polished finishing make them much more pleasing than the stock images suggest imo.
Granted they'll not be for everyone though.
As for the Dartmouth hands, both sets are there for everyone to decide now.

We're now on C60 Trident Mk3 and surely we want to move forward with the new.
Many fans of the Mk1/2 don't like the Mk3 hands at all, including myself. So maybe you want to move forward with the new but I think many still prefer the classic hand design.
The forum banner still shows the Mk2 classic design, perhaps time to update because we need to move forward and forget about the old stuff.
Hey, at least I didn't put the classic Chr.WARD on the dial which would have looked even better.
There's one likely technical issue with any suggestion of putting 'classic', I prefer to call them onion or teardrop, hands on a C65 based watch.
The Teardrop hands have only ever been produced for the C60 Trident MkI and MKII with 43mm or 38mm case. I doubt they will fit the 41mm C65 Trident Diver / Dartmouth.

The C60 has a wider bezel than the C65 so the dial and hands sizes may be the same for the C60 43mm and C65 41mm. But I don't know because I don't currently have a C65 so can't compare with my C60.
