Some eagle eyed people spotted that the crown size was used from the Starlight's 4mm rather than 6mm - here is the correct crown size render in proportion to the case:



Much better sized now

And what the markings that go around the bezel translate as:

Seems like YT just takes its time to "unlock" the custom URL feature (might be useful info for Fitz too) - thanks for helping guys - at way over 100 subs now and still no option for the custom url (you'll actually see that on the warranty cards I gave a tinyurl address: www.tinyurl.com/solaswatches to redirect to the YT channel for the instruction e-manual).

All going well the shipments from Dublin should start next week at some point (hence me sending out the survey to backers asking for confirmation of addresses) - then I'm aiming for about 10 watches shipped out per day - so all the KS backers should be covered within 19 days+weekends when I'll have time to QC more watches but post office isn't open on Sundays.

I should have bloody bought 2!
Completely forgot my baby brothers 21st birthday is next month and now he has seen the watch he is trying to lay claim!
I may well be a customer at retail too TF

Ha - well the retail pre-order comes with a 100 euro discount (and a serial number too - depending what variation you get a no.2 serial is still available :pac: - and while I say September on the site - it's more likely that August would be the actual delivery date.

With the easing of restrictions is a mini-meet / handover a runner? Hassle to organise and suit everyone I know but... would be nice, y'know before you get all famous and ivory towerish...

I would love to get the meet up - there is a slight issue on my part (I remember we had mentioned perhaps even doing something using the postage fees to organise an event somewhere before C19 hit). There is a Thirdfox jr (thankfully not named that) on the way - and in fact it's a very good reason why I will most certainly have the watches sent out by end of June - as such I hope it's understandable that I will be safely cocooning myself in my tungsten tower for the whole Fox family

I'd be keen to have an Equinox party in the future - and even before that hopefully boardsie meets will occur again and we'll all have a chance to meet in person.

Ah the old 'having a baby to avoid meeting random people from a watch forum' trick. Heard it all before.

Second only to "I was just trying to get a gummy venus di milo stuck on her clothes!"

It is most important to remember at this time.....that a new baby is the perfect excuse for a brand spanking new watch for yourself under the guise of it being a birth year watch for a present in 21 years time.

Ha - that completely escaped my mind - taking delivery of all the baby stuff over the last few weeks has prepared to take delivery of my "little babies" (as I call them) - they've reached Guangzhou airport today.

And thanks everyone for the congratulations - I think most of the work has been performed by MsThirdfox to be fair - and well - I do have a personal eagrán brádan feasa to hand over to babyfox - a birth year watch that should be pretty cool once he's old enough to understand the story behind it.
