On the Wrist, from off the Cuff: Christopher Ward - C60 Trident Mk3, 40mm vs. 42mm 

Same!

What is your wrist size JPark?

Puffy lol no hand modeling for you!

Brian Mcginlay I see what you did there....

I agree that the 42mm has the optimal proportions

Pete Picciolo would the 38 look good on a 6.5 or should I get the 40 mm ?

@@jalenalexander460 personally, I think a 38 would look better. I'm just not a fan of "modern sizes."

I have a 7in wrist and 38mm looks too small on me, especially for a dive watch. I would typically go for 41mm as my sweet spot.

Keep an eye out for sales, they typically do a 30% off deal annually

Cw has coupon codes if you're interested respond back.

@@AverageBros I had no idea that they offer a 30 percent off deal! This is amazing news. I will definitely wait to get it. When is their once a year deal? I am TOTALLY confused now after this video of these 2 sizes. I guess that I would buy the 42 based on this, and hopefully they would exchange it if it was too big for me and I wanted the 40 instead.

@@private464 it typically around Christmas time

@@AverageBros Thank you.

both of the aforementioned have closer to traditional Rolex Sub proportions as far as dial to bezel ratio

Funny you should ask that question - I found a comparison with the Tissel here www.christopherwardforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=52021

correct, I mention it towards the end of my video

40mm will be perfect for many..

You might like to try a wall clock on a bracelet

@@petert3412 if you think 1mm on either side of the case, is the difference between a wall clock and a wrist watch, this video won't help you

@@AverageBros lol, the trend is moving back to 39mm maybe smaller, dive watches will settle in at 40mm

Btw. good video

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I just don't really like the proportions on the 40, the scale is great but the proportions just don't compare to the balance between dial, bezel, and bracelet proportions on the 42.

Average Bros you got a good point there.

I have a 6.3"/16cm wrist. I have 3 38mm C60s. I have tried on the 40 and while it fit without any issues, I just prefer the 38.

Mark Gill thank you so much. My wrist is actually six and a half but it looks smaller than that as its so narrow on top. I like trying watches on before buying thats a problem with microbrands. cheers

Lol, thanks Chris!

Not gonna happen. The red bezel is not going to be made anymore... Supplier says it's too hard.

@@gnarl12 thanks for the info.

Wrong. It’s the lug to lug and case shape you should be looking at. The trident cases curve down to hug the wrist whereas say a submariner has a flat slab style case and doesn’t hug the wrist at all. I have 6.5” wrist and the 40mm fits like a glove

I'm not a walking wrist, so unfortunately a wrist shot doesn't tell the whole story, additionally I dislike the proportions of the 40mm although the 40mm scale is nice, the ratios of each dimension don't play as well as the 42. The overly wide center link, the short fat proportioned case etc. But hey, what do I know? I'm just the guy who's actually handled these watches and many many more...

@@AverageBros I've seen it mentioned a few times in the comments but can you explain what the "golden ratio" is? Is that the ratio between case diameter and thickness? Thanks!

@@EEE-1409 when only looking at the numbers, regardless of design factors, many specifically gravitate towards watches that are 40mm in diameter with a 20mm lug width and a Lug to Lug no longer than 50mm. It's not a perfect ratio but often can become the line in the sand defining if a large majority of collectors will entertain or not. These watches are a good example of not just using the millimeters of absolute dimensions to tell you which is ultimately the best fit.

I wouldn't be surprised, most any warranty beyond immediate factory defects would require as much for a mechanical movement

@@AverageBros Thanks.

the Silver was made to be smaller, so all of the proportions are dialed in for that scale

What size and model? How much and where you based? 👍🏻

@@FatSamEIE it's the 43mm blue trident pro 600 on bracelet---- looking for 500 00 and I'm located in Grayslake Illinois----- it's only been worn 10 times

Actually I think its 42mm it's a 2019 version

@@steveregotti8542 Hey, is your watch still available?

Every brand has horror stories, typically the hope is that the product will hold up to the point that you'll never need customer service but I get the concern.

I had the 42 and it is a nice watch. Service though, no ok. I had to send the watch back because it was vibrating when wound. They said that was expected and did not need repairing. They is video out there of people experiencing the same thing. I think the problem should be addressed. That just felt wrong so I decided not to keep it. It took almost a month before I got the watch back. It was stuck on hold due to them not completing the paperwork. I had to fight to get the watch so I could sell it. Once it arrived they kept the booklet for the watch. I requested they return it and they sent another booklet (wrong watch). Watch is a quality product. I think the 40 would have been a better size for me. The vibration was just too much.

I returned mine as I was not happy with the bezel click (after all the hype) but asked for a replacement and the new one was perfect. Customer service was great/quick/personal so cant grumble. My understanding is that they were not expecting the level of sales they got for this 40mm and it pushed their capabilities- I've heard theyrw on top of it now and you have buyer protection when you buy online(and with a credit card) so my advice would be dont miss out down to horros stories. The watch is great (and I've owned Rolex, jlc, paneria, omega etc)

@@als1440 What vibration problem are you talking about? Especially, if they told you that was expected. Please explain what you experienced.

I can help with this. I’ve had the 38mm trident and have now purchased the 40mm. I have a 6.5 inch wrist. The 38mm looks taller and bulkier on wrist because it looks almost squashed, the height is more spread out on the 40mm so looks better on wrist. Plus the cast curves downwards to hug the wrist so fit 6.5” wrist, 40mm is the better option I think

@@thrifty85thx i worried abuot lug to jug because i think in 40 mm version is 47 mm and in the 38mm is 45mm.

@@wazatam but is not like a flat lug to lug like say a Rolex submariner. These mugs curve down a lot so it’s almost part of the strap. Because they hug the wrist so much it wears more like a 45mm lug to lug. I’ve just sent a watch back with 47mm lug to lug because it was a flat case and didn’t look right, whereas with the CW cases are completely different

The Mk3 went back down to 42mm

Than its 42mm I didn't realize

@@steveregotti8542 it's in the title of the video, lol

@@AverageBros duh lol

How about you wear your watches how you want to, and let other wear theirs how they feel comfortable. Do you tell strangers how tight to tie their shoes also?

@@skrem23 Jog on son 👍🏻

thanks for the feedback

@@AverageBros As predicted. Great review. I agree with you completely on the bracelet, but I think I prefer the slightly smaller indices on the 40, I've also got a sub 7" wrist.
