    Pre-Order Borealis Medusa 500m Lugless Diver Watch

    Agree - longer markers look better. Is it plausible to keep the outside diameter of the bezel the same, but increase the dial aperture by 1mm or so, so that the bezel is 0.5mm narrower? I like the Medusa already, but perhaps the 'clutter' people mention is caused by the bezel width relative to...

    Pre-Order Borealis Medusa 500m Lugless Diver Watch

    About the only thing I don't love is the size, and visual clutter, of having the full length minute indices on the dial. Reminds me very slightly of the mouth of a sea lamprey.

    In bronze with a brown dial and bezel would be amazing.

    I've got some fine sand caught on the inside of the bezel. Is there a trick to removing the bezel? I don't want to accidentally crack the sapphire insert...

    Because the orange draws attention away from the dial, the blue draws attention to it. And i don't want the strap being the star.

    My Seafarer II on a couple of the new 24mm Borealis rubber straps. I decided to keep it on the blue.

    The simple pleasure of a fully lumed bezel.

    So I've had my fair share of dive watches, expensive and inexpensive, and I'll come right out and say that the Estoril has without a doubt the BEST bezel action of any dive watch I've ever owned, or even used. Whatever you did Maria, it's awesome.

    Good lord. What sort of gormless douchebag would do that so early into you sending them out? I hope you black-list them into a hole so dark their great-grandchildren still won't be able to see the light.

    To be fair, the main culprit of the 'criticising and bashing' is well known for his anti-Borealis views, noone thinks of him as objective.

    Out of interest, is it possible to pay the full amount owing prior to their arrival? I hate owing money.

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

    My new custom strap arrived from Patrik at Clover Straps. I reckon it's his best one for me yet. Dark brown waterproof canvas with orange stitch, and deliberately unfinished edging so it ends up frayed and rugged looking. Love the way it makes my Batial sing!
