    Pre-Order Borealis Seafarer II 4000m Automatic Diver Watch

    Again, sorry to be late to the party. I'm interested in the project, but as a proud owner of a Seafarer I'm partial to reprising the (Tudor) snowflake hands set on the II. I realize I'm very much in the minority. Alternatively, Rolex-style Mercedes hands. Again, I realize I'm in the minority and...

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    Sorry to be late to the party. Sounds like an interesting project! I haven't read every post, but I would second those who want a bracelet. I do understand a bracelet would up the price point. I will follow with interest.

    Pre-Order Pre-Order Borealis Sea Dragon

    Didn't recognize my invoice at first because I've been receiving a bunch of purported PayPal spam lately. In any event, I paid my second invoice and am looking forward to receiving my white-dialed SeaDragon!

    Your thoughts on the new ISASWISS 8371 Quartz Chronograph Movement

    I generally view the entire watch and not just the movement. If a watch appeals to me, movement becomes secondary. Of course I look at price point; if a quartz seems overpriced I won't be interested.

    Pre-Order Pre-Order Borealis Sea Dragon

    It's a great start! The lume looks nicely bright. While I prefer having a date complication I would second the others who would not want it.

    Pre-Order Poll: Choose the version for our next project : Borealis Scorpionfish

    I like the white-on-white, primarily because I like the PloProf hands. Still would prefer black dial, white-on-black date complication and PloProf hands. I do appreciate that Maria must move or she will lose the cases.

    Pre-Order Poll: Choose the version for our next project : Borealis Scorpionfish

    Version B, definitely. I'm not keen about the downward-pointing arrow, though.

    Pre-Order Poll: Choose the version for our next project : Borealis Scorpionfish

    Yes. The minutes hand outlined in orange, a la Plo Prof. White-on-black date complication; all something like a Jacques Etoile Atlantis, which I have.

    Pre-Order Poll: Choose the version for our next project : Borealis Scorpionfish

    I guess I'm late to the party! I like the initial rendering. Two suggestions might be an orange-outlined minutes hand and a white-on-black date complication. Otherwise, I see no need for further changes at this time.

    Borealis Sea Dragon Watch Project

    Option Two (2) for me, definitely. Thee entire project calls out to me, but in particular the Tuna casework. I'm quite interested.......:cool: Will you blast e-mails when preorders open?

    Borealis Sea Dragon Watch Project

    The Tunacan-style casework grows on you....though, again, I may be biased because I am wearing my Seiko Tunacan!

    Borealis Sea Dragon Watch Project

    Getting better and better with each rendering. I like the white dialed version. A bit like a white-dialed Ball Alligator. But, again, I'm prejudiced because I own one! (not mine - pic "borrowed" from http://itstime.dk/urdebatten/viewtopic.php?t=1524&f=12)

    Borealis Sea Dragon Watch Project

    I like the latest rendering much better. The grey dial version looks better. Maybe the rendering in the first version turned me off. I do like the Tunacan casework. Crown placement at 4 o'clock is entirely appropriate; see, e.g., Eagle Star (Candino). I may be biased because I own an Eagle...

    Borealis Sea Dragon Watch Project

    I like the shrouded bezel a la the Tunacan. The Myota 9015 is a good choice for the movement. I like the 4 o'clock crown. As presented in rendering, the grey dial and hands are not my cuppa.
