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

[protocolphil]

How would the Scorpionfish work with a Nato strap? Could it be possible with the flat lugs?

I'm hoping the cap between the case and springbar is big enough to accommodate too as I'm eyeing up a Panatime honey distressed leather NATO for my Scorpionfish.

Now that will look sweet.

Hello Maria,
will the bracelet fit a 21,5 cm wrist without using the diver extension or if not, is it possible to get additional links?

That's a question I'm interested in answer, too...
I'm almost sure it will fit, but well... better safe than sorry

I'm hoping the cap between the case and springbar is big enough to accommodate too as I'm eyeing up a Panatime honey distressed leather NATO for my Scorpionfish.

I think a nylon Nato, or Zulu, should be fine, but a leather one might not be able to fit as the leather is quite thick.
Unless of course you use a really thin leather one.

 

[protocolphil]

As long as the cap is at least 1.5mm I'm sweet on the Panatime NATO.

 

[Pakz]

It should be OK, but the strap needs to be a bit on the thin side...
I'm certainly not buying any leather nato for this watch until it's there and I really can judge of the space by myself! And judge of the size and the way it wears... It might wear too large on a leather nato...

Hi Maria, this may be a silly question, but will the scorpionfish be numbered? (Serial no.)

 

[protocolphil]

Just pulled the trigger on black dial with modern hands. Thanks Maria and Borealis

 

[TheWraith]

A couple of questions...why are there two helium escape valves, and why do the two valves look different?

btw, I did pre-order this, the black dial with modern hands.

 

[protocolphil]

Please correct me if I'm wrong. These cases are from the Locean model (or similar too) which have their HEV valve at the 12' o clock position and crown at the 6'o clock.
Borealis wanted a POD with this case so drilled the crown at the 3 which would have left a smaller than normal (HEV) hole at the 6 Meaning putting in a smaller HEV.

 

[joncat]

Pre-ordered! Said hello too. Love this one!

 

[protocolphil]

Hi Maria, can you please tell me if the Scorpionfish is still only going to be limited to 100 pieces? If so, as asked above will they be numbered? Just curious more than anything. Thanks

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Watches are not going to be numbered.

 

[Ventura]

Hi Maria do you have a pic of the watch without shroud for interests sake?

 

[zumzum5150]

Well thanks to Zaskar36 for passing on the good word on the project. I just placed my
Pre-order.. I wanted a black dial but my young son had he's eye on the white.
So I ordered the white dial. My little 9yr old already has
a 6.5in wrist. In a short time, he'll be wearing most of my collection. Thanks Maria for making
a great looking timepiece!
Cheers

Pre-ordered the black dial with plongeur hands! Looks to be an exciting offering... and I told myself that I wouldn't be buying anymore watches this year
