Christopher Ward by far. I own a C60 trident, it was within +2 a day out of the box, has crazy fit and finish, and is a very versatile classy look. The Alpina... it isn't that classy looking, I have never seen any Alpina +2 a day out of the box, and I promise you the fit and finish is better on the Trident.
At one point I also had to get my trident repaired because I accidentally damaged the crown. CW recouped my shipping cost, repaired it for free, sent it back at +2 again, and it took less than 2 months. Good luck getting that level of repair from almost any watch company, much less Alpina.

KarkarovThanks. I have heard one negative with the CW with ceramic bezel (only the newer ones have ceramic bezel) Do you have the ceramic bezel? I hear the ceramic bezel has a “plasticy” shine to it.
it seems to me the CW is also a handsome watch but more versatile, just like you said, and you can wear it both with a suit as well as a nice pair of jeans. The Alpina is also handsome but definitely in a much more masculine way and suitable for less formal occasions, more play and outdoor and active and less dress and formal. So if one already has nice dress watches, then they may gravitate towards the Alpine. But if one is looking for an all around watch, the the CW would be a better fit.

WatchDoctorThe shininess of the bezel, and bezel material, depend on what version of the Trident you purchase.
I own one of the newer C60 Trident Vintage models. It is a ceramic bezel with a matte finish. The stainless steel tridents without DLC/special case materials do tend to have shiny bezels. Ceramic or otherwise.
The three newest tridents actually have metal bezels. Two are stainless steel, and the third is bronze.
