He, he... great news indeed !

For the $500, depends if it's post or pre-VAT. It makes a 20% increase for us EU customers...

The blue would have been great... But I'm not really sure I wouldn't still have gone for the ultimate super-classic big triangle, no date, all black... So... And sure enough 90% of the people who would have bought a blue one will still by a black one. So given it might increase the costs, it's...

Makes total sense. The OS300 and MM300 already feel "quite thick" and they're nowhere near that number...

Well, not necessarily a full on dome à la Armida A1, but a significant dome, if that's not too expensive (I believe you said it was actually less expensive than a flatter one, Maria?), that'd be perfect and match very well with the turbine bezel!

I'm like you, it's the turbine and new hands to sold me on the project. Initially I wasn't really interested. As you can see on the first page of the thread. I thought that it was looking too "bland" and "generic" and DSSD like. Now, I'm more and more an BGW9 guy and feel like the greenish hue...

That's great news... More tapper means it'll wear "a bit smaller" and look "a bit more refined". Well, if you go on with the orange hand on all models, one of the benefit is that it would totally solve my dilemma and I'll pick the blue with orange dial for sure! The thing is, the more I look...

I like orange too and will probably get the blue and orange version. But I'm also quite attracted by the monochrome appeal of the blue and white or black and white...

Not so sure about the orange minute hand on all versions. I really liked the all white and blue (and all white and black) appeal of the earlier proposition. It had the advantage of offering orange when you wanted it and no orange when you didn't...

Movements getting old can also speed up significantly. That's a thing that happened to my Speedmaster... Initially was about +3s a day, then after about 6 or 7 years of almost continuous use, it sped up progressively, until it was like +20s. Anyway, I'd like a timing machine, as it would speed...

This is more a "sawtooth" type of bezel than a proper turbine bezel. The H20 have turbine bezels and the Japy with interchangeable cases Maria has shown is also a perfect illustration of turbine...

Yes to turbine bezel too.. I'm having a hard time trying to decide which one I prefer. The blue and white or the blue and orange... One thing is sure, provided the price is not too high (almost a given, since we're talking Borealis) one of these two models will be mine.

Really liking that blue... I was initially going for a very traditional "black, no date, big triangle..." but that blue, big triangle, no date, I'll take every day!

So I got the SeaDragon out of the box again this Friday... And lo and behold, it's actually gained close to 15s on the first 24 hours. So not back to it's original very bad results, but not as good as I had it to be during the first time I wore it. Now, that first time was during a very hot...

Yeah, something between the two would be great. And some of the problem of the smaller font you propose is that void below, so having them slightly enlarged and moved down so that the base of the number line up with the base of the indices lines would totally do the trick.

It's definitely looking like a great watch! I wasn't sold on it at the beginning (a bit "bland", a bit too much of a "DSSD homage" despite some Seiko heritage to it too). Now, it's really become something new, with obvious multiple influences but the mix is different. And great looking I must...

Voted for version 3. The best combination so far. I love that GP Seahawk inspired handset, I love the dial, I love the turbine bezel, I love the technical characteristics... It's about as perfect as can be!

Still wearing mine on the blue Obris Morgan-frane. 'Till this day, the best combination I've found of comfort, practicality and looks. But... you need a large wrist to have it fit.

Yeah, thanks for all the work, Maria. We certainly are not the easiest customers to accommodate and you still do admirably with the bunch of us throwing demands of this and that!

Totally with you on this one... Version 1 (and 6 but this one looks weirder) is the only one set that really has the correct size. The others are too thin, and sometimes even too short. Which is rather detrimental to lume perf. People voting for the version 3 (scorpionfish) keep in mind that...
