Hey everyone,

I’m very excited to share these IPhone pics with you all. I don’t do reviews as some of you know, so I’m just showing them off. The end links on the production ones will fit perfectly flush, unlike these prototype ones. I don’t think there will be other changes.

At the beginning of the year I would’ve had zero interest in these 40mm watches but I’ve been losing some weight and feel like they look and feel great even on my 8.5in wrist. That kinda makes extra sweet for me to share them with you.

It’s definitely Borealis best watch ever (to me)

Feel free to ask me anything,

fish scale dial cool... yeah my entre into the smaller cases was to quit jamming pizza in my pie hole...congrats on shrinking wrist bone...the wrist bone connected to the ...pie hole
 
Great pic's, thank you! I have the orange and the baby blue on pre-order, can't wait. Since early 2019, all new acquisitions have been sub-42mm.
 
I do hope the brushing of the case and bracelet are done better, more uniform, although the waffle (fan, shell?) pattern on the dial looks great...

Yeah the prototypes are almost always not as nice as the production ones. They hand finished these ones. These are from the same factory that does most Zelos, NTH, Prometheus and Borealis watches so the finish will be much better.
 
Looks great Luis - nice offering from Borealis. And for being 40mm with 20mm lugs, it does not look too small for your wrist (and your wrist is large. I sold my Estoril and Sea Storm because they felt too small on my wrist - this model though smaller than my sweet spot seems like it would be ok. Thanks for sharing the great pics!
 
Wow, these watches are simply stunning! And I'm one of those oddballs who LOVE 40mm watch sizes, and consider my sweet-spot to be 40-42mm! Soooo, given that, and my approaching-eight-inches of wrist size, I'm not convinced that 40mm is necessarily a size for the smaller wrists amongst us. Ah, well, either way, these watches are extraordinary in styling and overall appearance; in other words, they get the 'ol juices a'flowing!!

Please, if you don't mind, would you provide a link to their pre-order page? Tin-Q BD Much 4the awesome PIX!! :hat:

Oh man I’m surprised you sold the Estoril. The Sea Storm wears smaller than Estoril so I get it but after I received the bracelet for the Estoril, it became a keeper. Didn’t care much for it on nato or other straps

Here’s a pic from yesterday at work on my 8.5in

This will fit nicely on my 16cm wrist as the Sea Storm fits comfortably for me. Got the Green dial so can't wait.
Just got OEM bracelet for my Sea Storm and love the look!
