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

[ZASKAR36]

Do you think you would do both lines in orange or just a single line, as in the Cave Dweller photo posted earlier?
Or maybe just "Borealis" in orange?
Or maybe all the text in orange?

I'm torn on that, what do people think would look the best?

My feeling is just one row of text. It's really a nice subtle thing that ties things together. I think if all the text was orange it would over do it and negate that little subtle detail.

 

[Millbarge]

Maybe just the bottom text?

i think this is my preference as far as the text goes:

does it matter to you which line?

Just as a side note we did not steal cases or designs from other company.

From what we have been told the other company didn't pay for the mould charges so design in the end is of factory.

Agreement they had was for it to be exclusive for a period of time and not to be offered to others.

That period has now passed and factory is trying to recover their investment.

Thank you for explaining

I am only interested in the Sunfish design that I previously spoke about and showed a pic of. Version A and B as shown do nothing for me. Sorry.

i think this is my preference as far as the text goes:

I like this a lot. Seems to work only if the 6500ft is taken away and only meter rating is printed.

But definitely orange text for the bottom. I noticed on my Helson Shark Diver that "shark diver" at the top of the dial is in orange, but seems to lack the punch of my Cave Dweller. I think it's because your eye always starts from top to bottom. At least that's what my OCD is telling me

Of course, my OCD maybe different from everyone else's though. LOL

I would do just the bottom writings

Frenco et all,

Do you mean something like this (never mind the uncentered text as this is a quick photoshop mockup)

 

[nicholas stockman]

ha ha don't be so harsh, life is beautiful

you mean the case will look like this:

Yeah except w/out the Hideous and Ridiculous non useable crown location THANK GOD oh yeah and Horrid Swiss Cheese Bracelet...Puke!!

Yes for the orange text location! I voted version B. Ploprof hands just works with this style case as compared to the ladder style of Version A.

 

[Axelay2003]

The 24mm taper to 20mm will be aesthetically pleasing and will compliment the case shape. I like where this is headed.

I hope there is a white polar dial option.

 

[Axelay2003]

Drilled lugs would be nice.

[Axelay2003]

Cool.

 

[Brent]

I think if I would choose A. But both look really nice. I see the hands on B a lot lately it seems.

 

[karmatoburn]

I also voted A. The hands on B look out of scale. The hour hand is almost the same size as the dial markers. Maybe if it were fatter and slightly longer?

 

[Mike Murphy]

This would be particularly beautiful with a medium to dark blue dial, black ceramic (or sapphire) bezel insert and the orange minute hand, but I understand the reason for black dial only and would love that almost as much.

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Text files aligned and with water resistance markers in orange
