My wife said Bora Bora. I think her exact words were "What's the worst these watch nerds can do to you, sue you?"
DWC watch nerds? There would be no lawsuit. No body, either.
Nope. Just take you fishing....we'd call you "chum"....

Let your wife know that law suits are not the first course of DWC action.

Sorry for the noob-ish question here, but I'm wondering if this watch would take a super engineer II bracelet? I love the look of this, but I'm a fan of steel bracelets.....
......just concerned about the 4.6mm bracelet thickness and it fitting the lugs.

I can't see any reason a straight end bracelet won't fit. Whether it will look good is another matter.

Looks like there is enough room......
......how it looks is what concerns me. Not having SELs is what kinda put me off the Armida A7.
Edit: on second thought it does give me an opportunity to indulge in some nice straps for a change.......

I'm going to put it on an Isofrane and forget about it.

adding a generic bracelet would have ruined some of the charm of the watch, and commissioning a custom one would have changed the price point.
i adore bracelets on my divers, but having some on a strap/nato/etc is OK too. the fact that one isn't offered here is a strength imo.

Happy Monday Gents...
Just wanted to share some more prototype pictures of the Baltic Shield. Now that I have had the two test watches for a few days I can honestly tell you I am super excited. We have a few tweaks to make (hand set, bezel sizing, lume application to insert) but... I think you will all be pleased with the end result. I love the watch case and crystal profile. The watch has great wrist presence and is extremely comfortable on the Nato strap.
So... bear with me and I assure you I will deliver a solid watch.
Thank you,
Todd @ KWC

Ditto!
If those tweaks work out well, you'll have made quite a watch.

Todd, when ready I'll pick mine up in person and bring beer. I appreciate you chasing the details.

Looking good, and tough! Is the height still the specified 13.5mm?

i'm liking what i'm seeing!
i came too late to the party for the pre-order pricing, but even at paying full price, this looks to be a steal!

I think with the tweaks this will be a grand slam.
