Christopher Ward Takes the C60 Trident Upmarket with new Chrono and Titanium Models
We've talked quite a lot lately about Christopher Ward's upmarket push, moving watches like the C9 5-Day SS Chronometer into higher quality (and higher price) segments of the market, but almost all of the conversation has centered around their flagship C9 line. The brand is hardly stopping their improvements there, however, and the next line to be overhauled is their popular C60 diver. The brand's approach to this is twofold, revealing both the C60 Trident Titanium and the C60 Trident Pro Chronograph 600 ahead of Basel.First up, the C60 Trident Titanium offers a titanium case swap along with either a partial or full DLC treatment, depending on the model. Variation #1 mixes the darker tone of brushed titanium with a blackout treatment on the bezel and dial, while Variation #2 is fully DLC cut through by stark white bezel markings and indices. Both looks are aggressive, tactical, and modern, but have slightly different appeal. Variation #2, with its full DLC coating, is louder but perhap
new AP, question about watch noise
Hey everyone! First AP purchased yesterday and I have a question/clarification for those who are familiar with the ROO. my FC makes a winding noise as the oscillating weight moves around. It sounds like a winding buzz. Best I can come to explain it. Its not super loud, cant hear it while wearing the watch. But in a quiet room, if i move my the watch around it can be clearly heard a good two feet from my ears. Just asking because all of my other automatics are silent. I searched the forum to see if this had been asked before and didnt find anything, but forgive me if I missed it. my question is, is this noise normal to the ROO. the watch is keeping perfect time. Thanks for any input!
How comparable is an Omega Seamaster 300m to a Rolex Submariner?
I have been lurking around these forums for a few years now with my heart set on a used Rolex Submariner. I'm budgeting around $4,500, so I imagine that would get me a watch around 10 years old or so.I recently came across the Omega Seamaster 300M, and I really like the looks of it (very similar to a Submariner IMHO). I'm curious how others feel in regards to the comparisons between the two.I still like the Submariner, but I also really like the comparable looks of the Omega Seamaster 300m, and the price would allow me to buy brand new.Curious what everyone's thoughts are here, which will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
