For many years, I am always on a look out for Fifty Fathoms homages. This is the beauty I am talking about
I did get Seiko SNZH55. It was beautiful in it's own right. But it did not scratch the itch. I did find Helson Skindiver to be a close match.
But the thickness (14.5 mm) and lug to lug distance (51 mm) was a turn off to me.
An idea came to me during the preordering of my 2 Estorils last October 2015. From the front facing render, the Estoril have a bit of the DNA of the Fifty Fathoms, at least to me.
Now, with both Estorils in my hands, I think it is doable for Borealis to make this FF homage using the same parts; case, mil hands, domed sapphire crystal, crown and maybe movement. Just 2 main items need to be change; the dial and the bezel insert.
The dial will be similar to the pics above. The bezel insert printing same as the above pics, but with slightly domed sapphire crystal instead.
What do you all think of this proposal? Like it or hate it, it is just my proposal.
