Re: Trident
It's out now.
I really like them both. the Trident against the wavers is a nice Britannia touch that gives the watch its own identity - even though the bezel is very Rolex like, the face very Seamaster like and the hands are similar to Bremont.
I think I may need to get a GMT - after all it;s hard to travel without one, right....

Re: Trident
I get the feeling that this is a watch that i really can't decide about unless i am holding it.
Also,i wouldn't personally worry about design similarities.....it's very rare to find a watch these days that is totally 100% original. Pretty much all watches pick up design cues from other brands and iconic models-as in many other products. The secret is in putting your own 'twist' on it imho.

Re: Trident
A lot will depend on the exact colours of the GMT. But I like the design heaps.
British take on a classic .........the wavy guillauche (a la Omega Seamaster) works brilliantly with the Trident second hand.

Re: Trident
I don't like them anymore.
The date is horrible on that spot.
Too bad there's no option weither you want a date or not.
I will never buy a watch with the date on this spot.
It just always looks out of place.

Re: Trident
The Trident seems to be wearing the same old C4-C6 bracelet?
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Actually - this could be the chance for CW to revisit his bracelets - he was thinking of that wasn't he?

Re: Trident
Agree with most others - have an orange 3 o clock marker - and do you need to set of indicies (face and bezel) ?

Re: Trident
This thread is older than the one Ariadne gave to Theseus!
In fact, the Trident probably belonged to Poseidon!
