Do really like this watch.

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!

personally i really like it...
can't wait!

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

Very nice model! I've like all the dials conbinations, but to be honest didn't like the strap model, with the squared holes...

This watch will allow multiple type of straps, mesh, nato, zulu so that can be easily changed by owner.

The crystal is it gonna be domed or flat? Can share what's the thickness gonna be? Have you firmed up the price already?

Crystal will be flat. Likely this will be our first pre-order and price will be in our opinion competitive for the specs. At the moment we are waiting for factory to conclude technical designs so once that and quotation is complete we will be able to kick off this project.

Which option you like more in terms of hour hands?

Option 1

Option 2

 

[mangledsquash]

My preference is with option #1. That said, #2 is not a deal breaker by any means.

Fond of grey & orange association design but also seduced by the white dialed design, really nice with blue colour touches and light grey, great contrast ! Need some thinking.

Good evening

Option 1. Alto I prefer a slimmer hour hands.

 

[Dbrusca]

Option 1... I love this watch. Def gonna buy the white face one! Excellent!

 

[ZASKAR36]

I like option 2.

I think the solid lumped hour hand will be easier to read at night and visually it mimics the hour indices on the dial much better, giving it a more unified look.

 

[Eugjr]

Option 1, shows a better contrast with the dial.

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.

what about designing it or future watches so they fit with existing aftermarket SS bracelets?

and i prefer option 2

Was just talking to factory and width of hour hands is same as hour markers at 12, 3, 6, 9. As for the minute hands it is as markers at 1, 2,4,5, ...

As for the hour hand it needs to have a middle separation as in option 1 otherwise will be difficult to have strong lume without a middle structure.

Technical drawings of the Borealis Sea Dragon. We are almost ready.

 

[Millbarge]

it will be a black one for me...

though can you confirm that the White Dial is actually pure white?

on both my monitor and phone it looks ever so slightly mint green.

White dial is not pure white but instead silver white
