2021/22 Rocnel Sailor Adjustable

According to Bullgoose, the new Rocnel has a lapped matte surface with the same lapping machine used by Rolex. The prior models did not have a lapped matte surface as far as I am aware.

This is consistent with my understanding as well. I gotta say the pics of the matte are quite nice looking.

The prior finish was Ziratsu. Another high end watch case finish.

My new one is lapped but it's much more polished than than the Bullgoose version.

How’d you get it polished James? Is that by special request to Murat ?  Like you I like polished when possible.

My 22 MC was supposed to be #01. Murat mistakenly shipped it out. After chatting with him a bit, I returned my 22 MC #44. Rather than worry about returning the $$$, I asked him just to send me a future #1. He agreed. I didn't know he had even made my razor until he announced it on IG. Long way to get to your answer, but I suspect the more mirror polish was done as a favor, he knows I like shiny.

I returned my 22 MC #44.

Was it easy to get it back to turkey? Asking since I'm dreading
having to send it back for service (replacing springs after a few years etc)

Did you use a premium service like DHL/Fedex which costs a bomb?
Or just International mail?

I actually shipped it to Phil at Bullgoose.

Well, looks like there are some solid gold offerings now, at $5750 and $3000 Euro for MC variants:

whoa!

Not enough gold.  Not to mention it doesn't look $5k+ different from the brass ones.  Give me a gold inlay anchor on the cap, some gold anchor chain spiraling down the handle.  Etc.  Then I will be wowed.

I'm curious to see if a Ti variant will be offered, and at what price point.

I want tungsten. It needs a bit more weight.

I recall Murat relating some time ago that there is no Ti build planned.  Did that change?

I don't know. I only recently started taking a closer look at the Rocnel Sailor so don't have much history on this. I was just wondering out loud about a Ti option.
