    The waiting really does suck. The 2 I've backed had success with prior models and fan bases as well as support from places like Hodinkee and Monochrome so that gave me the confidence they will be backed and legit.

    Yeah I've weeded through a lot before backing. I wish there was more protection where you could get a refund if their are lengthy delays.

    Yeah it's a cool way for brands to launch, makes it seem like as a consumer you are closer to the creators and the process.

I didn't just happen to find, I saw an article on Monochrome which publicizes promising looking projects. My 2 main reasons for publicizing are 1 I think they are pretty good looking for the price and 2 I am hoping that if enough people are interested and voice they want a reverse panda like I have that they would add that as an option.

    It's the second Kickstarter I have participated in after getting a Marloe Choronoscope. I love value divers like Deep Blue, Squale and Steinhart. I hate aluminum bezels in watches.

    Any other questions you need answered?

    Appreciated. I'm trying to get around more, I find Tap Talk kind of clunky. I thought posting stuff about watches went to all areas, I recently realized now there are subsections.
