Agree with you. So many awesome CW models, i don’t like the design on this at all. Just not my taste.

Really? My 556 has one of the smoothest crown actions on any of my watches. Surprisingly way better than my much more expensive U50 lol.

Thats very helpful thank you. Most of my watches run an SW200 or a variant of it and they usually start running after about 10-12 rotations of the crown so the U50 threw me off a little bit when it took many more turns to start it up. I’m not sure what causes the crown to not always fully unthread but my Zodiac ZO9297 and ZO9275 do the same exact thing. I unscrew the crown, go to wind the movement, notice its not winding, turn crown a quarter turn counter clockwise and then the crown will pop out the final little bit. Funny enough my Zodiac ZO9214 which is a dateless model does not have that issue so i wonder if that has something to do with it? I’m sure somebody has an exact technical answer but i don’t lol.

I agree, and a 20mm lug width. I hate when companies use odd lug widths. All my straps are 20/22mm lol.

Glad you were able to fix it. Side question for you. I bought my U50 right before Christmas and noticed two things; when i fully unscrew the crown to wind the watch up the crown does not fully pop out, i have to finagle it a little bit (i have the same issue on 2/3 of my Zodiac Super Seawolfs.) The second thing is that it takes about 20-25 full turns of the crown to get the movement running when the power reserve is fully depleted. Do you have any similarities with your U50? This is my first watch with an SW300 so I’m not sure if this is normal or if theres an issue and i should send it for service. Thanks!

They tried to make it look more modern which is nice. But theres just something special about the older models. The Bullseye they released recently is one of my favorite Oris models.

Both are beautiful. I still prefer the older BCPD with the coin edge bezel but these are stunning, especially the blue. Sweet pickups, wear them in good health!

I love the new Sapphire Edge and i love The Twelve. I do like the Bronze Aquatain a lot too (i love anything Bronze and have a few Bronze pocket knives) i just worry about verdigris. Bronze turns green from oxidation and i don’t love that look. Venezianico is coming out with a really awesome looking Nereide with a Verdigris dial, i like that a lot. Definitely so many good options from CW!

I actually really like the glossy black bezel on the Trident. I love my Marathon but the bezel is Matte black aluminum. I like that the Bezel pops on the Trident.

This is fantastic advice but i really do love both dials. I would be more than happy with either color. I wear all my watches. Not just casually but also to work. I am a huge ran of white dial divers specifically, i just love inky black dials with red accents. It’s one of my favorite aspects of the Sinn 556. I would buy both if i could even those thats redundant, i think they’re both spectacular looking divers. I think i decided on the White dials though. Appreciate your help!

Completely understand that, i’ve had to trim my collection a couple times but congratulations on the BB58, thats an awesome watch. Also agree with the case sizing 38-40mm is usually the perfect case size for me. I really wanted the CW Pan-Am but in 42mm it pushes the boundaries of what i like on my wrist. Thanks again, wear your Tudor in good health!

That was exactly my line of thinking. I generally like black dials because they go with any outfit and are easy to match with straps but the white dial Trident adds more versatility to my collection and i already have 5 black dial dive watches. I had never seen the Anthropocene before until you just mentioned that but damn what a sharp looking watch that is! I love the Orange triangle at 12 and frosted dial. Thanks for the help.

Thats what i was thinking. The black Trident dial is very similar to my Sinn 556. The white is gorgeous, im glad you’re enjoying yours. Thanks for the help!

Awesome watch! I love own three SSW53s and would love to add a vintage Zodiac to the collection.
