    To those looking for a good fix with their hex screw issues ie: 2 small screws not locking together, worried about the integrity of screws and straps etc. I was in need of 2 longer hex screws as my SF came with 4 shorter hex screws which really comprised any strap options until I thought of the...

    Update: my SF has been faultless!! Since I received this gem it has been on my wrist everyday, sometimes sharing in a daily rotation but ON the wrist in some way. Over the month it has gained 25 seconds, very acceptable to me and I'm happy to say unlike other SF owners, my bezel action, crown...

    Yup, it does feel good knowing only 45 out there. Borealis had their reasons for this which shows great integrity for their business ethic. Maria is a champion of all that is right (y)

    Those are fantastic pics DrewL and zumzum5150, particularly liking the Orange NATO (y) FYI only 45 of the BLACK dial/modern hands ended up making it past QC, so to those that have one, you won't see many around on other wrists ;)

    Phlabrooy that's great to know. Thanks for posting as there were a lot of curious WIS wanting to know this. Even at a low production of 190 units it's still LTD too me. Did Maria indicate what the split ratio might be or is it just what people order? The web site says 'black dial, modern hands...

    This point was covered back somewhere around page 22 with a quote from borealis saying they had the opportunity to work a project with 100 cases from a parent company. No- one has come back to confirm this yet but evidence does suggest Pakz is correct. If this is the case then the first 100...

    Your thoughts on the new ISASWISS 8371 Quartz Chronograph Movement

    based purely on personal preference. Most of my watch purchases are driven by that initial gut reaction you get when you see something you simply must have in the watch box. The aesthetics of the dial, case design, hand set and Lume. For me, movement is secondary as mostly I can not afford high...

    Great reply DrNikolai, freshing this thread 2x a day at best is the minimum amount :LOL: I thinks it's fair to say that everyone who preordered this piece did so because they saw something unique (yes even in a homage), something of quality, something timeless and something us mere mortals can...

    I have asked this question of Maria already as soon as I saw what an awesome job they did with the leather strap for the Sea Dragon. Sadly for the Scorpionfish the bracelet is the only option (that I know of) so you will definitely be looking after market for 24mm
