Hey, Got a bit of an odd quirk with the seconds hand on my Borealis Scorpionfish. When the mainspring is totally unwound, and it's been sitting in my watch box for a day or two, hand winding the movement does not start the seconds hand moving - even after 6 or 7 rotations. Instead, to get it...

Do you know if the tang of the Batial buckle will fit the holes in these straps correctly?

Hi, Rather than cluttering up the watch preorder threads : Maria, do you have any design pictures of the new vulcanised rubber straps coming? So far my understanding is black-only, 22mm, but no specifics on design. Cheers!

Sorry, one more question : Will there be a process available to change colour choice for the Batial once physical photos are available rather than renders? e.g. I'll probably pre-order a blue, but depending on what the green or brown dial shade is 'in real life' i may want to change to one of...

Maria - if we order some straps etc now, are we able to delay delivery so that they come with the Batial when it is released? I need 2 rubber straps and looking forward to your new releases, but as freight is a significant portion of the total cost for them, it would be great if I could just...

When you bought them, did you buy them under the specific understanding that you'd be entitled to a discount on future purposes? Do you like them only because of a potential discount? No? Then stop being a curmudgeon. Knowing Maria, the standard pre-order price will be excellent - I'm...

These 3 preorder threads have become the watch equivalent of a car with children in the back seat always asking 'Are we there yet???' ;)

WTT : Firstborn child, in exchange for photos of Batial prototype.

The other option as some have mentioned earlier is some Panerai tubes. I bought 2 pairs from John at Dangerous9Straps on EBay, cost me about $7 USD landed in NZ. They fit the watch like an absolute glove, they're even darker finish than standard steel so they don't shine through mesh...

My preorder money is burning a hole in my pocket...

:notworthy:

If that happened Maria would have to change the name of the company from Borealis Watches to Borealis Charitable Organisation - because it'd certainly be not-for-profit! :)

Wow. No, I'd just rather pay extra money to Maria than to some random strap retailer, that's all :) All good - looking forward to pre-order starting. Race you guys to owning Batial #1 :D

Nothing. Maybe I'm getting confused, are the Sea Dragon straps not from BC? If there was an option for a colour matched Sea Dragon strap to match Batial dial colours, this project would be 100% perfect :)

Maria : you already sell B Bonetto Cinturini straps, and BC offer colours that match all the dial options you are offering for this project - would you consider arranging matching BC straps as an additional cost option on the preorder? Just a suggestion! :)

Looks like Isofrane rubber dive straps will work perfectly with both the watch and buckle, being 22mm throughout. The buckle hole even works. Even comes in matching colours for the Batial. Sorted!

That's for sure :D

Who makes custom rubber straps? Not silicone I assume?

Oh I understand. It just limits some of the flexibility of the watch re aftermarket straps, especially if you want a waterproof caoutchouc one - you either Use the factory strap only, or; Get an expensive custom strap made, or; Use a 22mm->20mm tapered strap (like 99% of 22mm straps) and just...

Indeed - but not many Borealis-branded bronze buckles to suit them ;)
