    Pretty please, do a Marine or Aviation watch :)

    Hmm, they are showing up for me so I don't know - they're linked to Photobucket account. Will try uploading them as an attachment to this post. Also I don't necessarily think the target audience is different - I think now that Borealis is more well known, your target audience is 'people who...

    Pretty please, do a Marine or Aviation watch :)

    This is an open letter to Maria but feedback/thoughts from others are welcome. I'm loving what Borealis has been doing lately - with the Scorpionfish, then the Batial, Estoril and SF2, and now the Bull Shark, you're making some awesome dive watches. However, they are all dive watches. I'm a...

    Borealis Scorpionfish Review

    Hey, I've started doing the occasional video watch review as a bit of a hobby, and I just did one on my Scorpionfish. Hope some of you enjoy it :)

    The Perloyant - a.k.a. Necessity is the Mother of Invention.

    Hey, So I tend to almost exclusively use leather and rubber straps for my affordables. I usually find metal a bit too heavy for my little 6.75" wrist. I like the look of NATO and perlon straps themselves, but I can't stand the rings on a NATO or ZULU, plus I detest that folded over bit of...

    Scorpionfish & Hirsch Performance Straps

    Hey all I'm thinking of getting a Hirsch Robby 24mm strap for my Scorpionfish. However I'm a little worried, given the short lugs, that the Robby my not fit without rubbing against the watch case. As it is, my Bonetto Cinturini barely fits. Does anyone have any experience with a Hirsch...

    Pre-Order Borealis Batial - Deep Diver 3000m CuSn8 Bronze Watch

    Is the lume on the hands a different colour to the lume on the dial, or is it just a trick of the light?

    Pre-Order Borealis Seafarer II 4000m Automatic Diver Watch

    It seems to me that recently, many forum posts can be categorised into 1 of 3 types : 1) People complaining about the structure and eligibility of a bonus discount that is offered on top of an already very competitively priced pre order. 2) People asking questions that have been answered...

    Any plans for a dress watch in the future?

    Hey. I know you're very busy Maria with 3 simultaneous preorders and builds going on for the next 6 months or so, but I'm curious about after that... Do you have any long term plans to come out with a dress watch? The Prometheus Signatura for example was a beautiful watch from a company...

    New Vulcanised Rubber Straps

    So, my Borealis rubber strap arrived today. It's a huge improvement on the old one. Not 'siliconey' at all - instead, firmly textured but extremely supple. I own an Isofrane.The Borealis is roughly 95%+ as good, for 20% of the cost. It's a no brainer - buy one. Now we just need to get enough...

    Pre-Order Borealis Batial - Deep Diver 3000m CuSn8 Bronze Watch

    The strap has to be ordered first on its own seperate order. Then use the strap order number you receive as the coupon for the seperate order for the Batial.

    Pre-Order Borealis Batial - Deep Diver 3000m CuSn8 Bronze Watch

    For those interested - the new black straps are now available on the Borealis store. The order number for my purchase of one also correctly applied the mentioned 15% discount to the Batial brown dial I just preordered :)
