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.

SUCCESSFUL: Kickstarter: Kingsbury Watch Co - Dark Water 300
Just spotted this recent Kickstarter launch...the Dark Water 300, which sounds like a Roger Corman movie title to me.
Unfortunately, all 40 slots for the Super Early Bird Pricing are gone, but still a good amount of the regular Early Bird slots available.
$209 for the Early Bird pricing.
Honestly, can't tell what the regular pricing will be once Kickstarter is over.

Not familiar with the brand, Kingsbury Watch Co, but this is quite the unique offering for a dive watch.
Here's their website if you want to read more about them - https://kingsburywatch.com/

I suspect the early bird pricing is just slightly above cost.
I can't imagine they'd lose money charging that amount!

It’s crazy. 3rd day into the project, they are offering another free strap. That’s 3 straps. Plus, if they hit 38k in finding, we get another 5 straps.
8 straps, folks, for less than $210 currently.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Kingsbury Watch Co - Dark Water 300
You guys are the worst. Had more or less convinced myself that I didn't need this watch...aaaaaaand in for one.
As someone said above, definitely SMP-inspired but infused with something else. SMP meets Tag Aquaracer, perhaps.

The hands don’t seem to match the rest of the package in design and quality, in my opinion. It has a lot of potential though. The bezel is just awesome.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Kingsbury Watch Co - Dark Water 300
Fine. I bit.
I won't be surprised though if we never see this watch. It's just too cheap. If there is one snafu I can't see how they have the funds to operate.

Talk about cheap. They hit their stretch goal and now the watch comes with 8 straps. How are they keeping afloat?Perdendosi wrote:Fine. I bit.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Kingsbury Watch Co - Dark Water 300
Oh just saw that the creator posted l2l: 52mm.
I knew the watch was big but thought the lugs we're shorter. That may be too big for me.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Kingsbury Watch Co - Dark Water 300
Same. I really like this one and would be in 100% if it was 40-42mm. At this diameter plus 52mm L2L I have a feeling it would just look clownish.Perdendosi wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 10:51 pm Oh just saw that the creator posted l2l: 52mm.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Kingsbury Watch Co - Dark Water 300
I keep coming back to this. I've backed it but I can't help think I'm missing something. The price just seems too low, but these guys appear to have run a couple of successful campaigns already, so should know what they are doing.
I can't make the numbers add up, so I'm worried the end product will be junk. (Ok, it's not a vast amount of cash if it is junk, but I'd rather not bother.)
Am I missing something or has my frame of reference just been skewed by other brands' pricing?

I am not sure how they can keep cost so low, but they have this automatic pilot with a Miyota 8217 for $200
