Maybe it's just me but for some reason it feels too slick. Comments so far just feels fake as well. Hopefully for the backers it's not just marketing BS

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Atelier Jalaper - watches with dials made from an Aston Martin DB5
They have priced this too high in my opinion...banking too much on the value people will place on having a piece of a “genuine aston martin” on their wrist. Its a stock Miyota with no finishing and an awkward date window for €600.
