Looks like a SARB033, I like this case better though.

Only 5-6 more pledges to make this one successful. Damn, this is tempting.

This campaign was successful! Unfortunately the first time maker is saying yes to everyone’s suggestions in comments….such as making the lug width 20mm. I am not really sure how he will pull it off with MOV. Having learned my lesson from other first time launches, I have decided to cancel my pledge and instead purchase a discounted Mandala to scratch the Aussie itch. Hopefully it all works out well, and looking forward to (hopefully) regretting the decision bc this he pulls it together and the watch is just amazing.

I thought the same, but that blue one really is beautiful, more so than even the impressive Visodate IMO.

This one was successful, but still unclear what will be delivered. The first time creator is still entertaining design changes via the comments on KS. Does not seem to have yet had the rude awakening of the MOQ. He also basically said yes to everyone, which made me lose a bit of respect. I was a backer, but lost confidence through this process. I hope he pulls it off and the watch is great...perhaps I try again on his second or third campaign.

Yeah I went back and checked and couldn’t figure out what the final specs were…. I did see quite a few canceled pledges. I hope they succeed.
