Thanks for the kind words but will really have to ensure factory makes it right and that is why they will have to make new prototypes. I will do a thoroughly analysis and will take many photos once they are with me and will share it with forum.

I ordered the orange and I can say that the prototype I like .... although, in my opinion, there would be something to change during production.
If I can afford, I would change:
1) the numbers on the bezel seem more "chubby", I prefer them as more slender in redering
2) Also the black next to the hour is bigger than the redering
3) the second hand would prefer the leaner
4) the crown is too long

Hello,
Most of your remarks have already been pointed out by me. I still do not have prototypes with me but once I do I will post photos and as mentioned a new prototype will be made as this one is not according to our requirements.

I just pre-ordered the grey. This is my first pre-order of any watch. I chose this model because it looks like it will come out very nice and its cost is particularly reasonable. I'm looking forward to a speedy delivery and buying more Borealises and Prometheuses.

+1 we need to see photos of this watches fast! From what I could tell of photos this prototype is really not up to standards so I hope Borealis will turn the table on their second prototype of the Sea Dragon.
Pre-order photos and some conclusions:
Besides pointed notes I think the orange dial also needs to be a tad darker, lume in dial and hands has to be stronger.
One thing to notice that initial photos didn't show is that finish of the watch case is excellent.
We will make a new prototype and once ready we expect it to be according to all our requirements.
Be aware that the black dial watch has the A/R coating damaged (factory didn't have a spare glass aside from this one as they were about to close for CNY so we got this defective one)
The wristshot is of my husband's wrist. His wrist size is 7.3 inches.
Time for the photos

I was wondering if the 4 corners on the top of the shroud would look better with a radius on them? Also the top edges could be rounded off or softened as well.
I would like a no date option as well.
The crown is just engraved, I didn't removed all plastic from crown as was afraid of getting crown with finger prints on the macro photos.
The grey dial is light grey as in renders, not white.
likely you're talking on the silver white?
There won't be a no date option, sorry.
