Pre-Order Borealis Estoril 300m Automatic

[Leo]

Maria, any idea on the blue colour? Would really like to know the shade of blue that's going to be used. I'm debating between the black or blue big triangle no date. But would like to know the shade of blue to make that call.

Should be a dark blue but if you're still in the sidelines better wait for prototype to make up a decision.

Thanks for the quick reply, Maria. How long will the 15% off discount good until?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

end of this year

 

[Leo]

If I have to use the 15% discount by end of this year and the prototypes won't be ready until January 2016 from one of your earlier posts, then I wouldn't be able to see the prototype before deciding if I want to use the 15%.

Or is my understanding wrong and that as long as I make an initial purchase between now and end of the year then I can use the order number for the 15% discount even into next year?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

End of year is end of year. It is up to you to decide if worth waiting or order now.

 

[Leo]

Understood. Thanks for the quick responds. Now I just need to decide black or blue.

ADMIN,

How soon would the 20-mm rubber or NATO straps be available for sale? Also, will there be a good selection of NATOs to choose from?

Please advise.

Thanks

Maria, you say the blue colour should be a dark blue. However, surely it should be close to the colour on the initial renders ie pale blue, because people have already pre-ordered on that understanding.

Ordered my black arabic number with date. Can't wait until it gets shipped.

Welcome to forum! Would be much appreciated if you introduced yourself first in the member introduction thread

The blue should be fairly close to renders presented. For the ones on the sidelines you're better off waiting for the prototype before making up a decision.

As mentioned many times already our focus is on the watch. Once prototype is ready we will discuss a bit on the Nato offered but really it is fairly easy to source aftermarket natos for the watch.

As for a 20mm rubber strap will only see light of day if sales of our new 22mm rubber strap are a success this due to the high MOQ required from factory : 2000 straps.

Hi Maria? Do you have the detail of the indices finalised yet? I saw someone asking earlier in the thread. Borders? Applied? Etc.

Also, the case finishing plans. Brushed/polished or a mix? Just not blasted.

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

We can find here info on finish

As mentioned more than once there are no applied indexes as that would be detrimental for stronger lume. We are using quite thick layers of BGW9 lume on this one.

 

[SimonN]

That's perfect. A mix of polish and brushing. Great.

Suggestion... What about a "cutting tool" to offer 22mm wide staps tapered to 20mm?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Not the cleanest solution

B.1 ordered. Excellent. Can't wait.

Banking on a borealis branded NATO, preferably in a choice of colours but it doesn't matter.

I ordered my A.1 today! I'm really looking forward to this one!
