Yes, but they are all the same in darkness as both bezel versions are all lumed.
My bad, I mistook the silver white for grey version.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?
Besides a 'B', do you have other options?
No, crown is with B for Borealis and that is only option.

Just ordered that Grey dial beauty, hope the need for further Prototype corrections doesn't delay delivery.
Looks like a unique, quality tool diver at a very affordable price.
Any chance the PU Strap can be made out of rubber (either silicone or natural), instead of PU?
Thanks for offering the Forum Discount, it is greatly appreciated.

In case you wish you can order separately our EPDM Rubber strap.

- Given that I'm already on board for both the gray and white dial options I'm very pleased with what I'm seeing so far and the final modifications that you expect from the manufacturers! In regards to time frame for delivery expectations IMHO I'd much rather you as the brand owner know that the product your delivering to the customer meets all your (and thus our) expectations than having to meet a time deadline! This is not my first Micro Brand rodeo so I know delays are a inevitable possibility! Sure it will be nice to see it delivered on the target date, but for me way down the list of importance
! The color mix on the (present version) orange dial kinda reminds me of the Seiko Orange Monster dial which IMHO is not a bad thing, but if it's not meeting your expectations than so be it! Actually the only thing I've noticed that looks a little eschew is the way the crown appears to be sticking further out from the case than the original renderings indicated and I'm hoping that the final product will show that it recedes further back into the case so as to avoid possible "easy" damage to the crown. All and all I like what has been accomplished so far and will look forward to both further updates and finally seeing the count down to "0" hour for delivery !

Maria's got that one covered. It was one of the first things she noticed in the pictures the factory sent over before they we're shipped to her. (Crown stem length not matching spec of original drawings)

Oh hey watching. You got that right...this one is a major winner and Maria rocks.
Maria, was wondering, is it possible to get a closer shot / full on shot of the dial on the grey dial model? In the current shots it's at an extreme angle and hard to make out the color. I think it May help others decide, if they're considering the grey dial version.
Thanks

I think the outcome is incredibly good, these watches, in all the 4 variants, are very attractive.
There is something else, about this watch, which is really great, and I'm surprised no one discussed it or pointed out: the thickness.
The lugs nicely contour the wrist and the real height is actually less than what you see in specs. Specs state 14.5mm, but that includes the contouring lugs, actual thickness is only 12.5mm, which is a great thing imho.
Kudos to Maria.

This white dial is just appealing... Will be perfect with a date indicator as announced. Thanks Borealis ! Can't wait, it's my birthday watch.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

Pre-ordered one so far. I'm glad the date wheel color matches the white dial! If the Gray dial had matching gray color date wheel, that would be a no brainer.

I'm actually looking forward to the black date window to match the interior of the hands and the bezel. Helped me make the choice for the grey dial.
