Any updates on Cascais production?

[SMC01]

Hello,

Just wondering if there are any updates on the Cascais production? Are we still on target for December? So excited for this beautiful watch!

I was wondering the same thing!

Also wondering the same thing. The lack of updates from Borealis is frankly disconcerting. Why not post an update in the forum from time to time so that those who pre-ordered the watch are kept informed? It would be great to know how the production is progressing etc...

Hi all,
I saw the other day that they posted a picture of dials in production on their Facebook page. Looks like things are happening! Just wish we had some more details

I was charged today so hopefully things are moving along on schedule.

Same here! Hope to receive the watch soon, can't wait!

Got the notice that mine shipped today! Super excited!

Received mine today! Beautiful but the bezel is really hard to turn. I had not expected that.

I also received mine. Stunning watch, and very high quality for the price. Thanks Carlos, job very well done! This is my first Borealis and I don't think it'll be my last!

My only minor niggle is with the bezel. I agree with WRP that it's really hard to turn. Bit of backplay too and doesn't "feel" particularly nice to use. Hopefully it will loosen up over time, but otherwise it's an issue that should be addressed (in my humble opinion) if there's ever a v3. It does line up perfectly though, which is great!

Quick wrist shot (7"/18cm for reference):

Glad to know I wasn’t imagining things! It is a beautiful watch! Now to figure out how to adjust the bracelet to the right size.

Super easy, just use a small screwdriver (between 1mm and 1,5mm, anything larger won't fit). Took me all of ten minutes.

Got mine today. Really like it. I got the grey and find the bezel is more slivery in reality than it looks in pictures. My bezel is a little stiff to turn but I would not say it's super hard. It does not seem to have any backplay either, but the grey has the stainless steel bezel so not sure if that's why. I took this picture before I had set the time/date.
