    I missed out on this bracelet. Will there be any more?

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

    I got my orange BC 321 from watchgecko.com (in the U.K.). It's a little more expensive than buying from a distributor in the U.S., like Holbein's, but still fairly reasonable and Watch Gecko has the largest variety of models and colors of BC straps.

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    The 12 o'clock marker is also departing from the SM 300 theme, more like the later SMP.

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    Don't know if it's do-able, but I like the look of acrylic crystals on vintage style watches. Sure, they scratch easily, but they're also easy to polish up.

    Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

    I applaud a micro brand watch company that resists the temptation to make everything bigger. 41.5mm is ample size for that style watch and a no date is also appropriate. I wouldn't mind wearing a watch like that on mesh or a vintage style tropic rubber than a link bracelet. Personally, I'd just...

    miyota 9015 AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT

    My white plonguer has been running +14 seconds per day. While within movement specs, it is the least accurate watch with the 9015 I've owned.

    Mine is on an orange BC 321 with upgraded buckle. The lume has a lttle less longevity than I'd hoped for and the accuracy, while within specs, is not as good as other watches with Miyota 9015 I've owned, +14 seconds per day. Considering the price, these shortcomings are a bit nit-picky.

    I was surprised my white dial showed up yesterday. USPS tracking for the last four days has showed it as having been processed through ISC New York and nothing more. This morning, tracking still doesn't say it was delivered. I'm impressed by the quality for value of the watch, but I'm not sure...

    Got the invoice for white dial w/ plongeur hands and paid it, but requested delayed shipment 'til Monday. I just received a white dial watch to satisfy me in the meantime, so it's all good.

    +29 seconds over 4 days would be +7.25 seconds per day.

    Watch Gecko always seems to have the best variety of Bonetto Cinturini straps in both models and colors. BC buckles are very basic, so I added a thumbnail purchased from ebay. https://www.watchgecko.com/bonetto-cinturini-321-watch-strap.php

    The white dial plongeur is the one I ordered and I already have the strap for it.

    I'm not partial to silicone. Besides, the one from strapcode is 120 x 70mm, better for a small wrist. This is the orange strap I intend to get. I've owned other BC 321s in black and it's a very good, very comfortable strap. There's not much to Bonetto Cinturini buckles, so I'll probably upgrade...

    We think along similar lines, but I had the BC 321 in mind, IMO the most comfortable strap they make.

    My first post here, I'm another WIS who got wrangled in here by Zaskar36. I've been getting away from micro-brands lately, but the value of this one seemed irresistible. This is the one I ordered today, which I think an orange rubber strap would turn into something resembling a creamsicle.
