I was ready to purchase both the Mille Mer & the Stardiver. I knew the Stardiver was going to be released soon, so I waited to get a look at it. I had been emailing Bohen many times over details regarding availability of parts, warranty work, if requited & possible service after warranty expired. They do not sell any parts (links, pins, bracelets etc) separably.
This, along with knowing that this is a fairly new company lead me to the conclusion that Bohen isn't for me. Not for two watches that would cost me well over $10k. Too risky.

I had the same worries when I decided to purchase the Mille Mer, but finally all has been great, the quality of the watch is impressive solid and it is incredibly beautiful. I am sure for the commercial reason, they will produce spare parts, they have no choice, otherwise they will loose reputation and after-sale-service requirements . How could you pay over $10K for 2 watches? their acutally official excluding tax price is less than 3K, no? I was lucky to pay the Mille Mer for the very first launching price of less than 2K.

Both the Mille Mer & Stardiver are 3000 euro each, or 6000 euro for both. When I convert that to my currency, + CC fees, shipping costs (which are ridiculous for a watch(s) at this price) + duty and taxes and brokerage fees, it comes out to more than $10k.
Having communicated with Bohen a half dozen times or more, they made it quite clear that parts will not become available. None. Ever. If an owner with their products needs anything, they must send it back. Rather ballsy from a new company imo.
If they were to decide to make parts available, why have they not done so with the Mille Mer? Beautiful watches, particularly the Mille Mer, but has to be a hard pass from me. Again, too risky.

Thankyou for joining our fine forum Blaise-Dominique. Welcome.

Thought that it's worth sharing here within the Watch Freeks community the article about this distinctive StarDiver again. It explained more views and choices of the creator. Very interesting to get into. With @AtomicTom

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Are you on Bohen's payroll by chance? Seems so.

So these brand ambassadors are not on the company payroll, but they shill for the company.

It seems that they do. Blaise-Dominique is here to speak on behalf of Chris, who so far has yet to chime in again.
Also, as I suspect, to "raise awareness" for his watches. What it really seems to me is that "Brand Ambassadors" tip Bohen off to any less than positive opinions / posts that don't endorse his product in a good light. Unorthodox I'd say.
But this is what has & is going on here. Trying to drum up conversations on his watches by other potential Bohen owners here on WF? Wow.
