OK here goes...
This ones drawing on the old Tri-Tech diver elite;
Black PVD case and bracelet, with black face, lime green superluminova hands and green tritium gas tubes for markers, going for a modern sports style watch as opposed to a divers watch.

think of it as a marmite design

Re: C65 Trident Classic Entries
Ok, here's my first entry for the C65, a simple change of dial colour to a dark blue, with the green lume spots outside each hour marker also changed from green to light blue. No change to text on the dial, but Forum Limited Edition etc would be the caseback.

What I'd like to see is quite simple. A C65 with the blue face from other watches in the range. The slate blue from the C5 and others. And no wavy pattern on the dial - just smooth.
The other change is the minute hand - it needs the silver 'line' removed. The bit where on the Trident it goes from skeletal to lume, but on the C65 just looks annoying. To me anyway. I'd want the whole hand lume.

Re: C65 Trident Classic Entries
Inspired by Welshlad's and Chlach's near-production versions, here's one that is also inspired by one of the more successful FLE models, the C20 FLE (and the similar Aqua Terra model - not that the C65 is in any way like the AT ). The visibility of the hour markers, and (particularly) the hands have been the sole reason why I've not been tempted to purchase a white C65. That's not quite true, I've been tempted, but I knew I would sell it because of visibility issues...
Enter the blued hands and hour markers....

With date plus red second hand (a suggestion, just for illustration. Red can be swapped for other colours...):

A quick entry from me. Green sunburst dial with white seconds markers, a thicker line every five seconds. Every tenth second there is a yellow second marker in arabic numerals. I think the second markers should have lume, BG W9 for the white and maybe dark yellow or perhaps light yellow for the arabic numerals.
The hour markers are cut polished metal (think of the markers on a sarb033) and the date window is not square but angles down together with the hour markers.The lume on the hans should be light yellow.
Hope you guys like it
I'm sorry for the sometimes confusing explanation but my english is a bit rusty

Re: C65 Trident Classic Entries
The first FLE was based on the C6 and had a blue dial and light blue markers which has remained unique combination. I thought that I would bring it back to life with a couple of twists.
The first one is using a blue dial with the blue superluminova on the hands and batons. Standard hands are used.
C65-10
In this one the hands are replaced with sword hands so that they are themed with the Trident seconds hand.
C65-11
In this one the standard white dial was used but the blue superluminova was used on the hands and batons.
C65-12
And again but with the sword hands.
C65-13
A special thank you to Goose383 for bringing these designs to life with his Photoshop skill.

Re: C65 Trident Classic Entries
Here are a couple more entries along the lines of a simple dial colour change (plus some minor lume changes).
First up, a lush green dial. All text would remain white (even though some has gone slightly green here!)...
C65-14
Second up, a very cheery yellow sunburst coloured dial...

Re: C65 Trident Classic Entries
Along the same lines as Goose's PVD, but in orange & with hands from a C70.
Would like to have seen the C8 hands on it as another option, but I've lost the will to live, trying to edit this one!
Special trident logo at 12 just makes it more exclusive to justify the limited edition status.

Please don't zoom in to closely, the editing is flaky to say the least!

Here is a C65 'Lotus' that Steve (welshlad) put together for me.
It has a standard wave dial in green without a date window, gold indexes and hands and 'natural' luminova .

Because I LOVE the dark green of the c7 BRGLE mk-1, I asked for this to be made up. Goose nailed it!
