Name of watch model will be Borealis Sea Dragon.
L2L is available in drawing: 50.50 mm. Watch will be made so that it can be used easily with a mesh bracelet or a watchadoo strap.
1. I personaly like it.
2. I love the Miyota.
3. The design is pretty awesome
4. I would like there to be an opition of a a blue dial and bezel and red hands.
5. Call me stupid, but what is the lume option - a C3 Superluminova, Tritium or? I don't know and didn't understand (that's why call me stupid)
7. I personally would enjoy a full metal bracelet
8. There is no 6 ;-)

Loving that orange dial!
Lume to be used is BGW9. It has a white color when not looked in darkness and glows blue
It is the second most bright luminova compound after C3.
in this example we can see a watch that has C3 and BGW9. C3 glows green and BGW9 blue.
As mentioned we are not planning on producing a bracelet for this model. It would increase sales price of watch and as the watch head will be flat at the lugs will be easy to use aftermarket bracelets (such as a watchadoo or a mesh).

That looks awesome. The grey dial is my #1. Fan of each bit I've read and seen. Only possible change I'd suggest is if the 12 o'clock marker was a bit different, such as having two strips of lume to match the hour hand.
My only two cents.

Any word on expected prices or pre orders?
We still do not have a firm price as we are still negotiating with factory.
As for a blue dial option I am afraid that won't be possible as factory charges us extra fees for each dial combination below 100 pcs.
For us to provide such level of customization we would have to increase our sales prices in over 50%. We are providing watches with similar quality of other brands charging $500.00 USD or more at a small fraction of that price.

Hi, my comrades!
Well, ADM, sure we can buy a SS bracelet out there, but I think if you have customers who wants an item, you have to do your best to have this item for sale.
As you saw, many and many customers want this option, so, I'm very sure in near future you will have an option for a SS bracelet ... and what I'm going to do is wait for a BW SS bracelet!
Cheers!
Dear Frank,
This watch is 100% our design so to develop a bracelet would increase our costs considerably and price of watch could never be below $400.00 USD. We want watch to be affordable.
We may try to work getting in future some mesh bracelets that may fit in watch but a custom made bracelet won't be part of this project sorry to say.

I appreciate the effort to keep prices affordable by not having a ss bracelet.
After seeing the larger renders the only thing I would suggest changing would be the hour hand color. I think a black hand would be more visible and also show off the cool paddle details better. The white hand makes sense on the black dial though.

ok, understood. I'm pleased with your answer and mantain my interest in BW models.

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 Star!
In any event, nice job!

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.
