Starting a new watch brand can feel like jumping into shark filled waters... Second Hour embraced that and turned it into this sweet dial for their new collaboration brand's inaugural offering, the First Stage Shoal Deep. Join me to decide if it's more JAWS or Finding Nemo.

Screwdriver and Potential Strap Pairings:
Wera 1.2mm Screwdriver - This is my go to for bracelet adjustments. Very inexpensive and high quality. I recommend keeping a couple on hand: amzn.to/3jQV6pj
Alternative Screwdriver - If the above version is sold out, this Wera is great too, just a little bit more expensive - amzn.to/3spF2ho
Helm Canvas Strap - Excellent quality and sufficient rigidity for heavier watches. Highly recommend and several colors and 20/22mm available: amzn.to/3ddWD60
Barton Canvas Strap - Many colors and sizes: amzn.to/2MWSKYr
Helm FKM Rubber Strap - Another fantastic bang for buck offering from Helm. Available in several colors and 20/22mm: amzn.to/3fKK438
