Looks nice!

Yep, initial thoughts are promising. If I had one constructive observation, it would be that I think on this occasion a 22mm bracelet would be better. I'm normally a 24mm strap guy, but I think 24mm is a little over powering on this case

Something we are not able to change is the case as that is an offer we have received from factory we work with. We can work on dial design, bezel, hands, dial, finish, though.

Completely understand. Would probably be a deal breaker for me however. On a positive note, it saves my money for the Sea Dragon I suppose!

 

[nicholas stockman]

I really like this offering and will be in on one depending on final dial and hands layout and of course price. Now i agree that the 22mm lugs would be better especially w/this case size but i understand the case already being offered. I would Have Negative date wheel Blk back ground w/white numerals and i would go w/a Orange Minute hand same style(Ploprof)....Jmho

 

[phoenix844884]

The case is nice. So are the hands.

For the dial how about rounded or triangular markers? Maybe an orange chapter ring would add some flare to the look.

Any chance of lumed bezel markers?

Bezel will be lumed in all numbers but we can add minute markers as in the Borealis Sea Hawk, sure

 

[sinner77]

like it. that is all I will say. I will also reccomend 22 mm lugs, since you already have offered excellent rubber strap - btw. my friends from Croatia at my reccomendation ordered 10 straps and they all love em.

 

[Steve Davies]

OK, I appreciate that I've already said I'm out, but of course, I'm sure I'll be tempted back!

Is the name set in stone? It might just be me, but starfish! How about Sunfish, if we need to stick with 'S' sea-creatures. Sounds much better in my opinion, and sunfish have such a distinct shape, a caseback design would be super easy as well.

Anyway, not really helping with the design I guess!

 

[mangledsquash]

First thought is mesh bracelet. A distinguished 12 o clock marker? The bezel styling is a very legible, but maybe "tone down" by having dots at the fives but the full # at the tens? And lastly with a name like starfish it feels like it needs a coloured dial. Sky blue, or yellowish. All just opinions, it's looking pretty sharp either way. All my funds are in the Sea Dragon ATM but we'll see for this one and timing.

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Sunfish is actually a nice name! I like it! The case back will be Borealis Mermaid as we have been using in our Diver Watch lines.

Quick mockup of the Borealis Sunfish with some of the requested changes (dial with triangle marker and circle markers)

 

[Steve Davies]

Personal preference of course, but I prefer everything about the original over the reworked design

So from the first renders changing minute hand to orange and color of chapter ring? In that case the seconds hand would be changed to chrome?

 

[Steve Davies]

Certainly the minute hand to orange. No real preference with regards the chapter ring

 

[nicholas stockman]

Yes keep the Orig rendering and go w/Orange minute hand and i still would like to see a Negative date wheel especially w/the Blk dial..other than that i like what you have there!

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

OK, thanks.

Can either one of you discuss about this project in other watch forums and invite people to discuss here about project so we can get more inputs?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe we could instead of an Orange chapter ring go w/a similar orange accents like the Sea Dragon has w/the color bordering the hr. marker's.
