    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    I might be totally un-representative, but indeed, as they are a bit cliché, I don't have many (actually, I think I have none of these "pre-DVD" grey/black... post DVD, people realised they actually had red thin stripes between the other colours) "Bond" natos. On the other hand I have more than a...

    Pre-Order Borealis Batial - Deep Diver 3000m CuSn8 Bronze Watch

    We're expecting our 4th child for mid February... With a bit of luck the Batial will arrive just before or after the baby... That'd be neat!

    Pre-Order Borealis Seafarer II 4000m Automatic Diver Watch

    Funny but to me, it's the exact opposite. I'm not really a fan of the grey but the one thing that I really like about it is the black writing. I feel it's the one point making it more "refined", "classy", and less "in your face sporty".

    Even if his wrist is a bit too tiny for that type of watch, this manager has good taste. He actually picked the same model as me!!!

    Borealis Bull Shark - Fixed Bezel Poll

    Well a diver watch does not necessarily have to have a rotating bezel and lumed pip. Unless, that is, you can say that the Panerai abundantly used by the Italian navy divers was no diver... You won't be timing precisely any dive with a bezel nowadays, so why bother with criterion like that. And...

    Borealis Bull Shark - Fixed Bezel Poll

    I voted for engraved... But I totally get the appeal of the naked one... particularly with a high dome or even better a "chimney" like crystal (e.g. like on the Scorpionfish).

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    As I understand it: - Sometimes you truly get a movement without date wheel. Then, no problem with date change (and you only have two positions for the crown: winding and time setting). - Most times however, the models come with one regardless on whether you have a date window or not (and you...

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    Yes. And to add to Maria's answer, it's not even the time that poses problem with watches having a date, it's only the position of the crank wheels. So basically for changing date, put the hands to 6h30 and adjust the date, then set the time and you'll never have a problem.

    I changed my mind... Glossy and BGW9 for the win!!!

    Pre-Order Borealis Seafarer II 4000m Automatic Diver Watch

    best picture we have so far is this : Which, by the way, looks awfully similar to what beceen has shown, only with a slightly different picture angle, and possibly not as tall (but then the watch would be 20mm thick). I think that it's really going to turn out great!

    Borealis Scorpionfish Review

    And, now that I think about it, a great way of cleaning that ceramic bezel insert is using a q-tip or a bit of toilet paper, soak them in alcohol and brush the insert with that... et voilà, all the finger oils are gone in a breeze. You might also take a shower with the watch on, put some soapy...

    Borealis Scorpionfish Review

    Great review... of a great watch. Mine is on my wrist at the moment, and I'm still so much in love with it... (Picture I've uploaded on Instagram but minutes ago!) By the way, would it hurt your feelings if I were to say that your New-Zealander accent is much better than your French or Italian...

    Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all but particularly to Maria... Those prototypes are great looking and those pics make me want to fast forward to when I'll receive my blue /big triangle!

    The Perloyant - a.k.a. Necessity is the Mother of Invention.

    I love that! Only weak point is the retainer. A metal buckle might be better as it'll slide in and out more easily. And it could "balance" the buckler, too... Still, great match to the Scorpionfish!
