I just received my C60 Trident Pro 300 last week and I'm absolutely in love with it. First thing I did was unscrew the crown and you're right, it's like silk. I've yet to find a fault with mine. I got the Bader bracelet with the on-the-fly adjustment. It's the most comfortable bracelet I've ever worn. Great unboxings. Keep it up!

@digitunicorn 4 месяца назад

As a fellow small wristed guy I’m pleased to see you’ve got this pair in to give us your opinion!

@john-paulsilke893 4 месяца назад

Agreed. Loads of women and gentlemen have smaller wrists. We need more for these underserved customers. I’m rocking a 8 1/8” left and 8 1/4” right so I can wear almost anything. I’m more into Daytona’s, (unfortunately I just bought a house so I had to sell it and my GS Snowflake) but I’ve been wearing a Timex X Jacquie 36mm in mother of pearl. (Obviously a ladies watch, I bought for the wife) and I must say it looks fantastic for dress.

CW makes absolutely excellent watches for the money. Also, ignore people who trash talk the service. I had one go in for service after 4 years and another after 4.5 years. Both done smoothly and without a long delay, all under warranty. The 5 year warranty is legit.

@Sherice-j6w 2 месяца назад

My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.

@MvG84 4 месяца назад

got my 39mm C63 Sealander GMT with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

@juniorjohnson5961 4 месяца назад

I have the same size wrist do you recommend this watch ? I think it's good to hear from someone who actually owns the watch compared to a review.

@MvG84 4 месяца назад

@@juniorjohnson5961 Always difficult to recommend, as in my eyes, watches are highly subjective. If you like the looks, I would definetly check it out. For me personally, it wears fantastic. And with CWs return policy, you can return it during the first 60 days, if you're not convinced.

@feesteeve2620 4 месяца назад

Longines Conquest can hide under in this case. It looks cheap, especially in black dial with printed indicies like an alpha, unfinished product released to public. That’s the shame, that the microbrand made 10 times better watch in terms of quality and details than the brand with such a history.

@bettersteps 4 месяца назад

CW seems to become an even better watch purchase as time passes. They've been doing so much right. Changing their logo was one of the smartest moves they ever made.

@michaelbradley6488 4 месяца назад

Christopher Ward has good customer service, hopefully you will not need it. My C63 has just broken down for the second time, mine simply stops and refuses to advance the time. Somehow I got a dud, and hopefully this time the movement will be swapped out. The movement has never worked for more than a few months, this time it worked for about a month. I have had mechanical and automatic watches for more than fifty years, I know how to care for them. I am waiting to hear back from CW, hopefully today or tomorrow.

@jayeyesacks1604 4 месяца назад

As a seasoned collector you're probably aware of the inherent flaw of Sellita SW200/SW200-1 movements, which has to do with the teeth on the reverser gear being prone to breaking off due to simply hand winding them. These movements are almost always characterized as "workhorses" in nearly every review I've seen, but there is a certain delicacy about them that doesn't seem to get mentioned very often. Hope you get your problem sorted by CW.

@michaelbradley6488 4 месяца назад

@@jayeyesacks1604 You make an excellent point regarding the flaw in the winding train. I am waiting to hear back from CW. I have not had the watch back in my possession for more than a few weeks. In this case, I do not think that is the issue, the watch seems unable to release the mainspring tension, the second hand will begin to advance and then reverse its travel for a couple of seconds and then simply stop, this happens if you try to give it a wind manually, not a full wind, just a few turns, If this is a result of missing teeth on the reverser, that gear may as well be made of cream cheese. I am not trying to be overly sarcastic, sorry if it seems so. If the reverser cannot take even a very slight windup manually then there should be a caution issued which states " Do not use the crown for anything other than changing the date and time" I think that Damasko strengthened their in house movement by upgrading the Reversing Wheel using steel? If CW repairs this movement under the five year guarantee I don't think that i will ever again use the crown to wind even a few turns. Thank you for your input on this issue.

@tombridge3608 Месяц назад

I'm pleased about their customer service as my new Sealander GMT 36 is having to go back. It only arrived yesterday and it stopped after about three hours. All i had done was wind it up, set the date and put it on my wrist. Working away in the office Iater i gave it an admiring look and it actually stopped as i was looking at it. Rocked it a few times and had a look at the movement but no joy. The rotor was turning ok but the rest was stationary. A return pack is on its way to me but i wasn't expecting to have a watch that needed repair after a mere three hours of running. Fingers crossed, it is a lovely looking watch. Back to Rolex..

@0xDankberg 4 месяца назад

You know, I really like CW, and every time I watch a review I just can’t get it through my head how you’d pay so much money for a Sellita movement watch. Best example of my analysis is look at Direnzo. Their DRZ 02R Aerolite I bought for ~$800.. that watch is 2x more watch than any of this CW watches, with a Sellita movement by the way. I will say, the Bel Canto in the original blue is my favorite CW and is well worth the money however. Appreciate the review and gave it a like and subscribe, always good to see different perspectives on the watch community.

@mell3109 4 месяца назад

@@johnholkham2420 it’s actually a strange design. I have several butterfly clasps and we took a good look at it, the outer horns tuck in quite a bit and done conform to the radius

@johnholkham2420 4 месяца назад

I know butterfly clasps can be an issue some more than others. Most are less curved than the 12. Often one person gets on with a particular clasp and another hates it. I really don’t think this bracelet suits wearing tight and you do get a good supply of smaller 3/4 links to try and get a good fit. Also you could look for any shape edges on the butterfly and try filing them lightly. The clasp works for me adjusted slightly to on side.
