"Sapphir" glass coating? - guessing they didn't get much help in translating from Danish to English-project isn't very confidence inspiring

It's really all about that rotor.
However, that "Anytime, Baby." etched onto the caseback is 100% a dealkiller.

As mentioned above, Pitot Watches has relaunched their Kickstarter campaign.
There's only one Kickstarter pricing tier, which is around
$338
Retail pricing will be about $525
Estimated delivery is December 2020
Differences from previous campaign (THAT I COULD TELL):
* They switched from a Miyota 821A to a Seiko NH35 movement.
* And they dropped one colorway and swapped it out with a variant of the F-14 Jolly Roger.
Specs:

Just curious as to why that’s a deal breaker?

For me personally, it takes away a lot from the aesthetic of the watch.
Love the plane, HATE the movie.

Are you meaning a reference to Top Gun? I don't think it has anything to do with the movie, it has history with the F14 logo and refers to a challenge in a 1v1 with the F15

I'm sure some F14 historian on this forum can give a better account than me.
