I'm in love with the orange dial. What are the chances of putting black outlined hands on the orange dial?

I would still buy it as is...but with black outlined hands..oh man..it would be perfect!

WTG Borealis. I think you guys have outdone yourselves on this one. I know some don't like the shroud. But it doesn't bother me one bit. I have a TUNA and love it!

Now all I need to know now is ... when does this one launch? I'm in for an orange dial.

Black minute hands would make it more classical for sure and that was an internal debate we have had (making it black or doing it white).

In the end conclusion was that this way (making with white) will increase legibility and orange will pop out more.

That makes sense. I can see the potential for the the actual final watch being more ledgible with white hands versus black hands appearing better on paper than in real life.

I can not wait. Please keep us up to date on price and release date so that I can make sure to have enough watch funds saved up. Hehe.

This type of case can not be made smaller in terms of diameter. What many times we forget is that a watch looks big or small on a wrist depending on lug to lug instead of diameter (3-9). As lug to lug is 50mm watch will wear smaller than what it seems. The crown at 4 o'clock will also help.

I do agree, most important to fit smaller wrist is lung to lung dimension (6-12)... Give it a try then for more than 42 mm diameter (3-9), just need to try ! Would love it if it fits.

Agreed. My Tuna on paper is 44MM but wears much smaller more like a 42MM.

I really like it, especially with the black dial and yellow hands. What will the movement be? I am in love with the Miyta 9015. If the size si 43-45 it will be a very nice to wear. And will it be launched with a SS bracelet or polyurethane/rubber?
