Yes Maria, I have subscribed, and have been receiving update emails.
Just never received any email concerning the new vote thread, did see the link when I visited the old voting thread, and Facebook post.

I subscribe too but do not always get consistently notified. It is not a big issue since I drop in on the forum frequently. (maybe too frequently)

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.

Turbine is clearly not for everyone but I am pretty sure it is for me.

Consensus is not ever going to be possible since every WIS has a pretty strong opinion about what they do and do not like.

Thank you, Maria and Borealis for giving us all a chance to express our opinions during the design process. I cannot think of too many other manufacturers that would do so.

A bespoke piece is something very few folks can ever consider but this is pretty close and again, I thank you.

I don't know brother. 83% of votes cast were for the turbine bezel version.

I got the same thing going on, but between black and orange or black, grey, and orange.

I am hoping we don't get too near $600, as that's about the price of the Helberg CH8 with date, which is similar aesthetically. No turbine bezel though!

I just find the turbine bezel a little too harsh and aggressive looking. The watch loses something by its inclusion IMO. Doesn't mean I won't buy this, but I'm much more unsure about purchasing than I was before. I was a 100% lock before this change. I like the handset in V3 best, though, so that is a good change.

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...

We are working on the 3D design and tapering can be done from 24mm to 20mm as we developed already a 20mm buckle.

The monochrome vs orange is not final but the more I look at the orange hands the more I like them.

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 at that latest render, the more I think that the orange minute hand works great for all but the "blue and white" model...

That was what I asked earlier, whether all models would have the orange minute hand, and I think it does look good, but some others may want the normal hands, too, I guess .
Am interested in the C3 green model, and I think it looks good with the orange minute hand.
The turbine bezel really changes things ! If not for this, I wasn't really thinking to buy, as apart from the depth rating, the watch looked pretty much like everything else out there.... and too much DSSD.
Really want to see more renders, from all angles.....
