Since I'm a fan of unique design and a gimmick, this definitely caught my eye.
Dial/time reading is way too busy for me and not impressed by the early bird "discounts."
But interesting enough to share.
The GB Vintage Speedway watch
Super Early Bird pricing is around $313
Early Bird pricing is around $320
Regular Kickstarter pricing will be around $330
These guys are not playing with their margins!
Available in four colorways

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: GB Vintage - Speedway
Man, that is... definitely a watch.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: GB Vintage - Speedway
I won't be getting one of these but I still think its pretty damn cool. There is now a mechanical watch that can be an alternative for those of use that can't afford a Urwerk, which is........all of us. [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] You getting one of these?

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: GB Vintage - Speedway
Think I'll ultimately pass on this one.
Just out of a comfortable price range and feel it will wear bigger than the 42mm.
Also, wish the time display was a little cleaner than it is.
But does beat spending $70,000 on a Urweck.
