Maria,
Wow! The latest shots of the various prototypes look fabulous! Although, I had ordered the black numeral 12-hour index with date, and now I am pondering if I should spring for a blue numeral top of the hour index with date as well before the pre-order sale ends the last day of this...
Maria,
I really glad that Marco, your bundle of joy, is doing well!
The blue prototype looks smashing, and the weaving design of the Nato and ringlet look great as well.
Thanks a million for making it happen!
Regards,
CHANT
ADMIN,
Firstly, congrats on the recent addition to your family!
Wow, those photos of the prototype cases and bezels are awesome! Although, I have ended putting my money down on a Version "A.1", I am looking forward to seeing a completed blue prototype in the near future!
Thanks...
I have a gut feeling that the blue versions would look fantastic as well! Just can't wait to see both the black and the blue completed prototypes..... :)

I have no issue with with the sapphire bezel and drilled lugs (just like the SM300 had). The cases in the pictures look great even without the final finishing.
After much debating with myself in the last few weeks, I am now ready to pull the trigger on Version "A.1" (black dial with 12-hour...
After having set on the fence for a few weeks due to indecision on what colour of dial and bezel to choose, with the confirmation that the Pantone 296 is going to be used, I am now committed to version "C.1" and will pull the trigger on the pre-order in the next week or so.
It is a lovely 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
CHANT
Thanks for your clarification on the blue dial/bezel Estoril 300 which I am warming up to. For now, I am willing to wait for the factory colour samples before I decide on which version(s) to pick up.
Thanks
CHANT
Does anyone know if the original series of SM 300 ever came out with the blue dial and blue bezel combo?
I definitely like the "A.1" configuration, but then I am also intrigued by "C.1" which is the blue-dial with numeral 12 and date.
With the 15% discount, I may even consider a no-date...
Well! What are we waiting for!
The Estoril 300 is now open for pre-order! Bring out your credit card and place your order now!
I suspect that versions "B" and "B1" are crowd-favourites, so act fast before they ran out!
Don't forget the 15% discount on the second watch ordered. Sweet deal...
ADMIN,
When would you expect prototypes or pre-production samples of the Estoril 300 be made available for viewing and feedback by forum members?
CHANT
I do agree with a number of other forum members willingness to commit to the original plan of utilising a sapphire bezel. IMHO, sapphire is the way to go. Yes, some forum members would rather see a ceramic insert chosen but on the bigger scheme of things, the sapphire option wins out...
The Batial Deep River is indeed a beauty. The deep blue wave pattern is very mesmerising with the "bronze" hour and minute hands and red seconds hand, this dial is a knock-out. The 3000m WR rating is a big plus.
The slim profile of only 13.5mm in thickness is fantastic, but the L2L at 51.5mm is...
Wow! 8 different configurations! Maria, you are spoiling us! These factory renderings look fine to me and they should be good to move to the next phase, I think.
I am definitely ready to pre-order one Version "A". If pre-order pricing is favorable, I might even spring for a Version "C.1" as...
