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.

This project has now passed two stretch goals: free NATO strap and free C3 superlume upgrade. The next has been announced: free ceramic bezel upgrade @ $61.7K US.

At the current funding rate, it seems unlikely to reach this target.

Hello Thrax, unfortunately the ceramic bezel has really high costs so we reach the break even only at that funding target (without increasing watch prices).
Anyway...never say never!

Yeah, ceramic isn't cheap. I understand. Just more of an observation rather than any disappointment. I already backed and I was happy with the project as described at launch, so all of this is just upside for me.

Oh don't worry, I understand. I would like only to write "why" that stretch goal is so high!

I hope you were happy for the superlume upgrade!
Anyway thanks again!

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
