Just got this
That deserves more than just a wrist shot, very clever watch making design using a single machined case and loading the internals from the top thus eliminating the need for a case rear. Also the case slabs to aid reading the time whilst driving, thinner at 6 o'clock and thicker at the crown which sits bullhead style on the top of the case safe from damage. All held in place with the one screw you can see on the rear.All Swiss auto for less than £500 - what's not to like, stuckX are going to be a bit peed off, but hey-hoe.
I don't see why the red and yellow face pieces are £40 dearer?

Apparently mine's the first wrist to wear this outside of the factory...
I like that. I have a Trident 600 with a white dial. Not too sure about the new logo at 9 o'cock, what are your thoughts?That's the only demo unit available right now. I popped in only to take a look and, once on my wrist, decided to purchase one as it felt (and looked, IMHO) so good. I prefer heavier watches and, as you'll know, the Trident is a good weight, even with a non steel strap.
It's a 43mm and there's a 38mm coming (thinking they may want to attract the female market with the latter perhaps?).
Unfortunately, its not a limited edition (I also have one of their limited edition 1957 Aintree motor watches). Re the logo, it's positioning doesn't bother me. One thing that I'd change though is the date number size - just too small for me.
I also tried the Orange Trident, like it but decided against it...
Cheers
