Is #FamilyFriday a thing?

I'm torn about the Borealis. It's really too large for my wrists, but I really like the dial, hands and bezel insert. I have thought about searching for a compatible case that is a bit smaller with curved lugs but I suspect it might be a futile quest.

I'm cheating a bit here, picture was taken Saturday when I was trying to capture the prism effect of the newly arrived almost-spring sun shining through the crystal on my Squale. But it fits #hmm.

Well, it's #WW. I actually was planning on wearing a sweet vintage beauty but was in kind of a rush this morning so I didn't think about it til now. I happened to be wearing this one so it's still not going to be a bad day.

What bracelet is this? I kinda sorta need it for my Kiger

Any chance you could measure the Corgeut's bezel insert, inner and outer diameter? I'm quietly hoping it's a match for the bezel insert of my Borealis. A hybrid would be cool.

Awesome, thanks a lot!

The Borealis is 39/31, one tiny millimeter difference. Maybe I can use a lower crystal since I really like the original ceramic insert. Or I'll use a Seiko 5 case to make a Tudor 36mm homage. Or flip it. Dammit.

So I tried to put the Borealis dial into an SNKM47 making it similar to the 36mm Black Bay, but the Borealis turned out to have a 31mm dial hidden behind the rehaut Not a good day for me...

I'm considering ordering a BB dial and snowflake hands from Dagaz for the SNKM47. Would probably need a new bracelet as well. Don't know what to do about the Borealis...

flip the borealis, use funds to order parts from Dagaz.
I'm still waiting to set some time aside to build mine using parts from Dagaz. First time I've had parts sitting around for more than a day...

I guess you're right, I'm just reluctant since I really like the Borealis's dial and bezel insert. Damn my tiny wrists!
