Only 10mm thick? SW200? Ceramic bezel? $200? What am I missing?

The Omega sign, nothing more


Sorry, tooo close to the original for my taste

Man what a value. Looks good, too.

Yeah, my PO is scowling sideways at this watch.

I'm interested to see whether it's a decent value if someone posts a review.

I want to give it a shot but something seems a little.. "off". Like they don't mention what material the crystal is (unless I'm missing it?). And it's made in germany according to the caseback, but it's not on the dial? Neither is the impressive WR rating. I get the pictures are a mockup, but these are things you'd want to advertise right up front, right? Missed the super early bird pricing due to my hesitation but the early pricing is still pretty tempting... It might just be the ridiculous price throwing me off, though!

Honestly, the vibe I'm getting is this is put together by a team who isn't quite sure what they're doing.
Could be a reason why priced so cheap.

And low cost enough where seems less of a risk if doesn't pan out.

Looks like bootlegs with dial name swapped; not to mention way too many photoshopped images... I'd avoid it.

Something just seems off about it.

For starters, their ridiculously ill-fitting logo is off-centerline in their promo shots. And despite the specs, they somehow look incredibly chintzy.

At least they picked a nice font
Run...Run away.....

This is new.

To follow up, this Kickstarter campaign was:

SUSPENDED

Funding for this project was suspended by Kickstarter 13 days ago

I didn't really look into why the campaign was suspended by Kickstarter, but I'm sure there's a story to be told.
