clean build and finish
Measured the 43mm case and checked the link pins when I sized the Quartz Silver for my wrist. Tolerances on the frosted steel bracelet are tight, the Swiss quartz movement is accurate, and the dial is easy to read.
The watch
Paul Rich Frosted Star Dust II Silver: an aventurine blue-dial watch in a 43mm frosted stainless steel case, driven by a Swiss quartz or Japanese automatic movement. Expect a sapphire crystal. We place it at Hour VIII (Aventurine & Cosmic) of the Downtime season, for anyone who wants a dial with real sparkle.
The Frosted Star Dust II Silver centers a blue aventurine dial that glitters like a night sky, set in a frosted, diamond-dusted 43mm stainless steel case. The sapphire or mineral crystal keeps the deep, star-flecked face crisp and legible.
Take your pick of a precise Swiss quartz or a self-winding Japanese automatic — the same celestial dial, powered your way.
On a matching frosted stainless steel bracelet, it slips under a cuff yet earns a second look at dinner. As a dress piece it is not rated for swimming or showering — treat the aventurine to dry land.
For anyone who wants a little of the universe on their wrist, day to night.

Measured the 43mm case and checked the link pins when I sized the Quartz Silver for my wrist. Tolerances on the frosted steel bracelet are tight, the Swiss quartz movement is accurate, and the dial is easy to read.
When I am not up north boating on Lake Huron with a dive watch, I wear this 43mm Automatic Silver. The solid stainless steel bracelet and sapphire crystal feel tough on my wrist, and legibility is great.
Wore the Quartz Silver out to dinner in Old Town Alexandria and the blue dial really caught the light. My only minor gripe is that on hot summer afternoons the bracelet clasp could use one small micro-adjustment step.
Great frosted steel and blue dial. Hand lume only lasts a few hours.
Thanks for the review, Shawn! Glad you are enjoying the Frosted Star Dust II Silver Automatic.
The 43mm Quartz Silver is straightforward and well put together. The frosted texture on the stainless steel is uniform, the butterfly clasp clicks shut with zero rattle, and the silver hands stand out clearly against the dark blue dial on my wrist.
The blue aventurine dial on the Automatic Silver model looks awesome in real sunlight compared to website pictures. Only knocking a star because the clasp could use an extra micro-adjustment hole for hot Virginia Beach afternoons.
Took two links out of the frosted bracelet on the 43mm Quartz Silver to fit my wrist and tried a navy sailcloth strap too. My only minor gripe is that the clasp links were a little stiff out of the box before working them around.
Thanks for the feedback, Nolan! Those solid links loosen up nicely after a few wears, and we are glad the fit is dialed in on your wrist.
