Borealis Estoril DWF Special Edition
Borealis Estoril DWF Special Edition
I haven't seen any mention of this on DWC, so in case anyone's interested, Borealis is re-releasing the Estoril, this time a pre-order of a special edition for the Dive Watch Facebook group. This one comes with a bracelet and has numerous varients. I'm not particularly high on micro-brands these days, but the Estoril is one of the more interesting ones, so I'm sort of on the fence.

No, it's not Tourettes.

Re: Borealis Estoril DWF Special Edition
It would have been cooler to have it on the caseback so that people who aren't a part of that group would still buy it. I have to say I have seen the first version in person and it is a really nice watch for the price point.

Now that’s a “tool” watch.

I always kick myself at first when I see the Estoril and realize I could have bought Andrea’s, but then again it would have been my third watch with that dial design.toxicavenger wrote:It would have been cooler to have it on the caseback so that people who aren't a part of that group would still buy it.

Re: Borealis Estoril DWF Special Edition
These are actually very nice and well priced too. Miss mine, wish it had a bracelet like this one.
I mentioned to them on FB that the logo was a bit too large but no one cared to reply.

$100 down, but I didn’t see the total price anywhere...?

Re: Borealis Estoril DWF Special Edition
After looking all over the internet, I found one blue dial, large triangle with date in a Hong Kong online small store!! With shipping it came to $550 approx. The Estoril is a nice homage to the Omega SM300. It has the 9015 miyota. My bud in Greece made me the green NATO for it...
I guess the first edition was so popular, Borealis produced that S. Edition.

It would be much better with the logo on the case back.

Re: Borealis Estoril DWF Special Edition
I see zero advantage to ever placing a group logo on the dial. That's like getting your girlfriend's name tattooed on your arm hoping she's the one, but then she's not.

Re: Borealis Estoril DWF Special Edition
I to wish the big DW wasn’t on the dial. It just makes the dial a bit too busy. Otherwise a beauty of a tool watch.
Is there information on which movement will be running this? N35 (Seiko) or a Miyota 8 or 9 series? I would jump on this with a hacking Miyota 9 series or even the non branded Seiko hacking movement.
I love the sword hands.

Don’t pay in that range. Much better can be found with patience.T. Wong wrote:After looking all over the internet, I found one blue dial, large triangle with date in a Hong Kong online small store!!

Re: Borealis Estoril DWF Special Edition
I looked and looked but none was for sale used. Even now few if any can be seen for sale. I was lucky to find one new, date and big triangle.HapaHapa wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:04 amDon’t pay in that range. Much better can be found with patience.T.
