Our first release, the Shoal Deep is a 300 metre diver built around the mid case design of the Seiko SKX - the OG modders case of choice. And we have modified everything - from the incredible dial, hands, unique bezel grip with ceramic insert, and case back, right through to the high beat Miyota 9039 automatic and the top grade beads of rice bracelet and fully milled, six micro-adjustment deployant clasp.
The Shoal Deep is available in three colorways - Shallows Blue, Kelp Green, or Blackout. Choice of a Stainless or black DLC case. And option of a Dive or 12 hour bezel.

As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.
