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.

UNSUCCESSFUL : Indiegogo: West One - The Apollo Watch Collection

Post by TheJohnP »

West One have launched on Indiegogo with the Apollo watch collection, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the first men landing on the Moon in 1969. The collection features three Swiss-Made, limited edition watches, using flown metal recovered from AS-203, one of the Apollo rockets, which flew in 1966.

Just a fair warning, these are really pricey. But if you want to wear a watch featuring metal that was used in the US space program, you probably don't have a lot of other options.

Also, worth clicking the link just to read the story about the recovered metal.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find
