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

[Millbarge]

Text files aligned and with water resistance markers in orange

i don't think it matters too much,
some are gonna like more orange and some will want none.

To my eye it does not appear to be centered...
"AUTOMATIC" seems shifted slightly right and lined up with the end of the line above it.

And i think it looks better if just "2000m" or even just "6600ft"...
simpler, more symmetric and less cluttered.

A little late to answer but totally agree with Millbarge, on version A of course ! The hands, version's A hands, much more fitting ! What about the dot at twelve ? The essential final touch for a diver...

how did you want the 12 to look?

as for the text, my REAL preference is always for a blank dial with no text,
then maybe make the little minute marks on the chapter ring orange instead of white to add a pop of color.

This won't happen though as companies tend to want to brand things,
just saying.

 

[Jamania]

Twelve should be twelve, that's on dial ! Looking for a diver's dot on bezel, ultimate diver's touch !

You mean a lumed pip on the bezel?
They have the whole triangle (and the rest of the markers) lumed instead,
you don't think that is better?

 

[Jamania]

Well, better or not ? I don't know. But, according to me, the fully lumed dot centered on the bezel triangle brings an extra touch and a functional add to the diver watch. Just a distinctive look &style. imho. Good night

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

The bezel is fully lumed so there is no technical requirement to add a pearl to bezel. Also pearls tend to fall out with time and customers complain when that happens.

With current solution lume will be kept safer in watch.

We have also received now quotation from factory. Have to remember this is a quality watch made with premium components and an even better finish than the Seafarer did.

So we have now an idea on pre-order price which will be very competitive in my opinion.

So pre-order price for this one will be of $390.00 USD + shipping and due to a close voting between version A and B we will end up doing both.

Once pre-order starts we will offer once again 10% discount to forum members making offer in the end very competitive $351.00 USD + shipping

Sounds Awesome to me and i'm in on one for sure and can't wait for Pre order to start.....Btw is there a way we can pay 100% in advance so we're paid as far as the watch goes and even the Shipping as well? I would prefer to pay in full if all possible...Let me know and thanks!

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

We won't be able to accept a full payment, only partial as easier to manage for us.

Sounds great, with the case being used and a 9015... not to mention the bracelet...
looks like a great value.

Any idea yet on when this will happen?
Money-wise i hope it starts after the Sea Dragon, but whenever, i will make it work.

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Delivery on the Borealis Scorpionfish will occur faster as cases are already produced so factory has to make just the dials, case back, hands, bracelet.

 

[Pollux]

Do you think we could we see a rendering of version B with a green second hand?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

We can not move backwards in terms of design as that type of discussion was already made in past.

 

[Millbarge]

can you confirm something for me please...

Is the second hand on 'A' chromed and white on 'B'?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Yes, that is the case.

 

[Gabe]

Looking at the specs, scorpionfish is slightly smaller overall than sea dragon alto the lugs are wider.

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Yes as there is no shroud. The shroud in the Sea Dragon requires additional size (height, width). They are different styles of watches each one with its own place.

thanks for info, in that case I want A version with chromed so far! I always prefer metal hands, polished are the best.

Btw very happy that cases are already done and this project will be probably sooner than Sea Dragon, I hope!

love to see a white version (pic from the web)

Yes! Why not?
