Sharkey Trident

Post by tjcdas »

[img][/img]

My green Trident is still in the mail but on a CW forum they have been discussing the watch and some nice photos have been posted.

The thread was a fun read with those for and against a homage of a watch they love. No one mentions that the CW Trident is a homage to a Bremont watch so they are fine with CW using some elses design for their watch, but not happy when they same thing is done to them.

The consensus seems to be the case is exactly the same as past CW Tridents, as CW changed case manufacturers and the Sharkey case comes from the old producer of the case.

The last post has a guy comparing as side by side with a CW but a different version.

That thread was wild. People HATE that thing. Its funny when you go into the Seiko forum on WUS, all the Seiko fanboys are all about the sharkeys. I don't have a horse in the race, just an observation on how differently both passionate fanbases treated the same subject.

I also love how much the CW guys believe just how swiss their watches are. I will credit WUS and docvail on opening my eyes to that whole "swiss made" fallacy. At least the germans are close, and the US are TOO stringent.

Considering mine is costing me $128, I'm definitely feeling I'm getting a fantastic bargain. Don't tell those CW guys, but I'm liking the case back of the Sharkey better than the CW, based on those photos.

Now, if my watch would quit celebrating Chinese New Year and get on the way here, that would be great :lol:

My Trident Shark is here. It is an excellent watch for the money, a bargain for what I paid for it.

I much prefer the shark logo over the current Christopher Ward logo

If you’re anal retentive, yes.

:D So one person likes the 9:00 Christopher Ward name placement!

Look at the owners discussing the new face design.

I’m saying an anal retentive person would call it a feng shui fail. I understand people having a preference on anything that occurs in the world. Saying the placement is disturbing somehow is not a normal opinion about a logo on a watch. Something about the person has an obsessive desire to place things in their environment the way they want it. Seems ridiculous to me, but I understand it, and honestly don’t really care. To each his own. I was just making an observation.

The feng shui was a joke, just having fun!

Alway roll my eyes when some one uses the term. :mrgreen:
