As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

My CW Trident was probably my favorite diver until recently. Not going to say that the NTH took it's spot because they are so different. My Trident feels like a dress diver with the ceramic bezel insert and the polished center links. The NTH is so tool watch-ish and I appreciate that as well. [mention]Pnt[/mention] posted his Trident on a brushed bracelet and a deal link during the CW sale. I had reservations how it would look with the polished lug tops, but for the price and quality of the bracelet I couldn't pass it up.

I present the more chill and laid back Trident 8-) .

I'll allow it! Mostly because it looks awesome!

Looks great. I personally believe ALL Amphibia should have a bezel swap. It really completes the look, and almost all of the stock bezels are garbage. Well done MoT.

Tried out something new on this Mod Monday. I am still not sure how I feel about the polished center links on the Invicta bracelet. So I brushed them on half of it. What say you Legion? Brushed or polished?

Definitely the brushed if you ask me, looks great!

Unless you have some strong polished elements on the case then I think that brushed looks much better.

I’m not opposed to polished center links but I agree with SporkBoy. If that is all that is polished I think brushed looks better. Great job by the way!

Thanks guys! The sides of the case are indeed polished, BUT so are the sides of the bracelet. It still has some continuity, but I am definitely leaning towards the brushed center links. It just felt a little too blingy before.

Maybe I will get around to the other half of the bracelet tomorrow.

Late to the party, but IMO brushed is a big improvement.

Do it! By far the easiest mod I have ever done.

I just finished the rest of the bracelet, and am really feeling brushed was the way to go.

The Sinn is looking great by the way. Glad to see you are enjoying it.

Thanks FTE (no, I haven't forgotten!) I agree. I still have to hit the top part of the endlinks since I did it without removing the bracelet, but all in all, I think it looks much better.

I tried convincing myself that I didn't mind the polished center links, but over time realized I was lying to myself.
