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

    Except for those (to be expected at prototype stage) colour mismatches, it's very promising! I'm starting to feel the real impatience rising!

    Pre-Order Borealis Seafarer II 4000m Automatic Diver Watch

    To me the X% discount you get is a BONUS. That means a thing in addition. A plus. An icing on the cake. Instead of criticizing the fact that we're given something more (under certain conditions), we should, I think, thank Maria for that added value she offers with the discount. AND keep in...

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

    Makes more sense, thanks for the info! And sure, it's better for most people not to have bronze directly in contact of the skin as it'll leave green marks when reacting with perspiration.

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

    HoHo, isn't that dangerous? As I understand it, the reason for a crown and case back in steel or titanium is that bronze on bronze can fuse, like it was soldered, with corrosion / patina... Sure the crown being usually manipulated "often" it's less risky than in the case back, but it's a risk...

    New Vulcanised Rubber Straps

    Got mine today... What can I say, it's easily the most comfortable of all my 'iso-styled' rubber straps, and might even be better, for daily carry, than the genuine Iso. Great job Maria !!!!

    Request....GMT watches please!!!

    I'm totally with you on that. I long for a watch with quickset hour hand for travels. One that I don't fear loosing when going abroad, too, so Omega PO, or Rolex GMT are out... The 2893-2, well I have it in the Steinhart Ocean Vintage GMT... and it's not easier for travels than any ordinary...

    New Vulcanised Rubber Straps

    Hey hey hey... I also ordered one new rubber strap tonight... I already have quite a few of these "IsoFrane" like straps. I also have a genuine IsoFrane... They're really a nice design and when the rubber is supple and thick enough at the same time, it's one of the most comfortable things ever...

    Seconds Hand on Scorpionfish - Quirk or Problem?

    I sometimes have similar "hard starts", but that's not specific to the ScorpionFish. Not even to 9015s. My MM300 for example needs quite some hand winding, then hacking, then repushing the crown... Well, most times!
