Hello Maria,
Will the Miyota 9015 movements be calibrated before they are shipped?
What is the accuracy you are expecting?
Thank you.

Watches will be regulated at factory. With that said anything better than Miyota 9015 standards is a plus but don't expect COSC performance in all watches of watches though some will reach it.

I think the outcome is incredibly good, these watches, in all the 4 variants, are very attractive.

There is something else, about this watch, which is really great, and I'm surprised no one discussed it or pointed out: the thickness.

The lugs nicely contour the wrist and the real height is actually less than what you see in specs. Specs state 14.5mm, but that includes the contouring lugs, actual thickness is only 12.5mm, which is a great thing imho.
Kudos to Maria.

I noticed this on the drawings (the actual 12.5mm thickness), glad someone else confirmed, thanks! This makes the watch much more wearable for me - holding out ordering the Poseidon because of the 16mm thickness.

You have mentioned the bezel markers will be deeper on the final model. Will that give the numbers a sharper more defined look? At present the shape seems a little untidy, but that could just be because the lume went over the edges of the numbers?

Bezel insert marker has to be deeper so that lume does not spill out. Factory is closed till next week and I will have to look this into details with engineers once they resume work. When next prototype is ready you will be able to see more clearly the changes.

What frame color will the minute hand have? Thanks

Can you please be more specific as we have several variants? The colors for the minute hands are as renders. Some of the prototypes had the wrong colors for the watch hands that will be fixed in the second prototype that factory will start working on once they resume from Chinese New Year Holidays.

Hi,

Just wondering about the Grey version,the orange indices look a bit washed out/plae. Will the orange on the indices be deeper orange colour on the production version same as the orange dial will ?

Thanks

Talking at this stage is nothing but speculation.

Factory is closed and as mentioned prototypes we received are not according to our standards and requests and we asked factory to make a second prototype which they will work on once they return from Chinese New Year.

I will update more details once I have spoken to factory.

Would also be appreciated if first time posters in forum presented themselves to members.

Hello!!!
As from early this afternoon, I'm in, having preordered a white dial version! I must say I'm quite excited by the prototype pics (they got me over the fence) and the idea of getting a white dialed diver. Not the most common colour... (y)

What is the width of the PU, and Leather straps at the buckle?
Do they remain 22mm, or are they reduced to 20mm at the buckle?
Are signed Borealis buckles included with both straps?
Thank you for your speedy responses.

Just ordered the White/silver dial to go with my Gray dial pre-order, using the 10% Forum discount was just too enabling to pass up.
Thank you for all your quick responses, I have no doubts that with your oversight, the Sea Dragon will be produced and delivered with total quality, at an unmatchable price point.
I'am excited to receive...
