I recently picked up a Trident C60 300 quartz in the third off sale for £209....................then DFQ made me aware of the C60 600 Autos going in the 50% off sale so I picked one of these up for a simply ridiculous £299!!!!
Both 43mm models.
These come with a 60/60 guarantee 60 days return, 60 month repairs, a great deal, so I returned the quartz, but before I did I snapped a few side by side pictures for your perusal.
Having both in the hand they are great quality watches, nice tight bezel action, lovely flat crystals, and well machined cases, but to me the look of the quartz is slightly dated with the round hour markers and bezel font, but this is personal preference, the auto with its battons and fresh ceramic bezel, although the matte bezel of the quartz picks up less marks, looks sharper and more modern.
300
600
Deeply stamped backs
The wave dial, on White it is not that obvious but it is more prominent on the auto
The lume is odd, brighter and darker variations between the hands etc, it is well applied on the brighter parts
I would have expected a deployant on the Auto TBH, an upgrade for the future
A size comparison against a YM
Great watches, well packaged, well made, and they are quality and value
