I have the Adraga with the black flag dial and the baton hands. Beautiful watch, I really like the dial, applied markers, the thick sapphire crystal and the ring that it adds around the dial. The handset is great, but the high polish does make the hands "disappear" in some light. Love my OP/explorer homage!
I was able to snatch up the last green/teal dial for a gift for my girlfriend. She didn’t love it like I did. She made a few comments about how I bought it for me 😅 Well I had to prove her wrong. Sold it quickly on eBay for the same as I paid. Borealis has a strong following. These are nice models. Wish they’d concentrate maybe on that Swiss movement instead of the water resistance though. Just my $.02. Great video sir!
Cool dials! I’d go for that snow flake one as well. With that being said, I’d probably go for a Seiko Presage for the money. Just my .02, you can keep the change. Almost at 8k subs. Congrats my friend.
This is fast becoming one of my favorite channels, both for the variation of subject matter and the honesty. Commando hands is the way to go here for me...then it's not too on the nose with the Explorerism and I think it looks better. This is screaming for a strap.. I don't think the bracelet does much for this, it's just meh looking and anything meh is just a distraction. 300m is amazing...almost like, is it not adding unnecessary cost? Thanks for this!
Hey, Josh! I have almost this exact watch, but with the turquoise flag dial and Mercedes hands (decided to go full-on Explorer homage 😉). I think the flag pattern really comes alive with the turquoise, unlike the duller white. The specs, build quality and Miyota 9 series no date movement are excellent, and I consider it a better value than a similarly priced Seiko Presage (sorry, Avg Joe 👍😁). Of course, I would still make room in my collection for a Presage, too!
Hey Josh, great review as always. You know I'm a big Borealis fan. I have the Adraga with the white snowflake dial, and I also have the Portus Cale Diver. I also just ordered their new Sintra with the blue dial. Both of the watches I have are of very good quality, love their designs, and fit & finish is outstanding. Great specs and great value for money. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Take care buddy.
Borealis is a great brand. I own two Adraga’s and soon to have the Sintra. Quality is great on this brand.
Awesome man! Glad to hear you're a Borealis fan!!

This is such a nice looking watch and that dial is great...but I agree the snowflake absolutely amazing 👍

I really want to get my hands on a Borealis someday. The dial on this one is killer. Thanks for sharing :)

Retail according to the Borealis web site is $550.00 the "snow flake dial is MUCH nicer - just as nice looking as a Grand seiko Snow flake.
Thanks for watching!!
College watch for sure
Thanks for watching brother.
Hi Josh, what watch you are taking to the apocalypse....if the ww3 come?
Hey Tan, thanks for watching! I think I'd probably take my solar powered Casio PRG 270.
