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.

Post by TheJohnP »

Tip of the hat to [mention]yinzburgher[/mention] for mentioning this preorder in this Wind Up Watch Fair post - viewtopic.php?f=5&p=39011#p38706

Collins Watch Company is working on their next model, the Sonar Dive Watch.

From their introduction:

A bold new design from Collins Watch Company, SONAR represents the meeting of sound engineering and the seas. Inspired by the sound-based technology that has kept submarines on course for over 100 years, SONAR brings a completely new style to the Collins lineup. Featuring 300-meter water resistance, sapphire crystal, refined brushed and polished finishes, and the Swiss-made Sellita SW200 movement, SONAR is nothing short of a true luxury dive watch. With a diameter of 39.5mm and thickness of just 12mm, SONAR will provide a sleek and stylish fit. Initial production will be limited to just 20 units of each variant. Reserve yours while supplies last.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks

Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

A bit late on this (I guess not too late, since it's still up for pre-order). That yellow dial is really speaking to me. I love the look of this. I don't know if it was an inspiration on this but some of the colorways are giving me strong Star Trek vibes.

I was very tempted to pick up the yellow variant. I have seen real-life pics of the white one and all looked good to me.
