SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Pitot Watches - F14 Tomcat Watch
This campaign was originally canceled by the creator, but they have just relaunched.
Biggest change appears to be a switch to a Seiko NH35 movement. They're still keeping that cool F-14 Tomcat rotor.
Here's the link to the new campaign:
Info below form previous campaign:
Some of you may remember this from way back in March when it was on Indiegogo - viewtopic.php?f=25&t=514
Appears the crowdfunding from that platform helped produce the prototypes that have led us to the launch of the Pitot Watches Kickstarter for their debut, the F14 Tomcat Watch inspired by both the plane and the movie Top Gun.
The first 20 pieces of each colorway is priced around $340
The next tier of pricing will be about $367
No mention of planned retail pricing, but the Indiegogo campaign set it at $600
Estimated deliver will be February 2020
Available in four colorways

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Pitot Watches - F14 Tomcat Watch
"Sapphir" glass coating? - guessing they didn't get much help in translating from Danish to English-project isn't very confidence inspiring
Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Pitot Watches - F14 Tomcat Watch
It's really all about that rotor.
However, that "Anytime, Baby." etched onto the caseback is 100% a dealkiller.

Re: PREORDER : Kickstarter: Pitot Watches - F14 Tomcat Watch
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.

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Pitot Watches - F14 Tomcat Watch
Just curious as to why that’s a deal breaker?
Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Pitot Watches - F14 Tomcat Watch
For me personally, it takes away a lot from the aesthetic of the watch.
Love the plane, HATE the movie.

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Pitot Watches - F14 Tomcat Watch
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.

I stand corrected.
Still not a fan.
