    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    Blue triangle no date arrived. Not much to add besides echoing the exceptional quality and value of the piece. Just beautiful. Works nicely on all my strap options. Seems my pics are pretty big to upload here but I dropped a LOT over on the WUS thread. Well done Borealis. Well done.

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    Pakz I'm with you!blue triangle no date on its way! Patiently waiting for its arrival in Canada by slow post. It's probably the lack of tracking that will be harder than slowness.

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    I choose polished after looking at a lot of pics of the original omega. There are a lot of polished aspects to the case. Also I reckoned it's easy to turn a polished mesh to a satin if needed. You could even just brush one side so it's reversible. I went with the strapcode reform after too much...

    I agree any little bit to help sustain us would be great. Even if it is an old prototype photo that we just haven't seen before. Still, July is closer than it was yesterday!

    my shark mesh came in! Strapcode Ploprof 316 sharkmesh with h links Looks like my pics are too big to upload here but if you know about the WUS Estoril thread in the dive watch forum you can see them posted there. I am very happy with it and glad I paid more. The finishing is very good...

    Poll New Borealis Rubber Size 20mm or 24mm version

    I voted 20. Thinking of the Estoril. And fewer options out there I would think for a good 20mm strap. Will the style be the same or a different style?

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    Finally did it! Blue Big Triangle No Date ordered! Bit nervous being my first preorder. I usually like to disseminate from others prior experience. Going to grab some straps now to tide me over. I'll get the flat brushed sharkmesh and a perlon (or two?) and I think the bc270 rubber. I'm...

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    Victor Is there any chance you may be willing to measure the mesh at its shortest possible setting? Extra links out and at the shortest clasp micro setting? It would be much appreciated. I have also come to the conclusion that this is the best deal and value around right now even without the...

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    It looks like 4mm or a bit thicker. My only concern would be if it is too thick. Though probably not. 4mm is probably ok. I have never had a shark mesh but I would guess they would wear "thinner" due to the large link design. Anyone have any ideas how thick the omega mesh bracelets are that...

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    After looking at lots pics of the vintage 300 I think if I grab one of these there will be a mesh involved. I think I will place an order in the next day or two. I have 6.75" wrist that fluctuates a bit so I am looking for an adjustable one ideally. Found this one on eBay with "goodcheapman"...

    I would LOVE to see the blue prototype on mesh if at all possible. Quite likely will be the straw to break this Camels back! Also Maria was very helpful answering my many questions by email today.

    Here's a couple oldies on perlon... I think it could work well on the Estoril. Perhaps not the red for me though...
