As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Forzo Watches - Glickenhaus "Road to Le Mans" Collection

These geckota people have a thing with strange names.

I always wondered who would name their brand „geckota“ - seems to be the ones, who would name another brand „forzo“

Furz is „fart“ in German. Forz (o) and Furz sound quite similar...never mind.

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Alexander Venacci - Design 1.2 Day/Date Collection

It looked good kn the pictures but untrue to specs listed in the campaign when watching the video of a prototype.

Anyway, it got cancelled.

Specs and pictures looked promising , though.

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: DuFrane Watches - Waterloo collection

I just noticed today, that if you read Waterloo, it’s just another word for water closet.

Water Loo.

I know, it’s historical and all. But if you take out the historical context it’s a
Pretty ridiculous name.

Sorry. Can’t unsee it now.

Re: 2019 New and Upcoming Releases!

Is there already a 2020 dedicated thread? I use tapatalk, and sometimes it gets lost in the different fora....

So if anybody could share the link, that would be very nice!

Thanks!

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Zulu Instruments - COM-02 Collection

This looks really interesting to me. I think this is something out of the trending Diver watch format. It does remind me of that one watch I can't remember the brand's name. Is anyone pulling the trigger? I need an enabler....maybe Maybe TRINTEC WATCHES? https://trintec.com/collections/copilot-auto...

Looks like this post from Oris was put up and then taken down, but not before someone screen grabbed it. Don't know anything more, but from their most recent FB post there may be an official announcement from Oris tomorrow. 69493605_10156447182827611_6672374957265125376_o.jpg This looks pretty awes...

Re: Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2018 Continued

Not sure if this qualifies as much of a deal, but I just got a coupon code in my email for 20% off of Meccaniche Veneziane watches. I was really interested in the Nereide GMT (pictured, from their website) when it was on Kickstarter but due to some circumstances at the time I couldn't pull the trig...
