I seriously just spit my beer out. Crestical? Seriously? Good looking watch though.

First Ball and now this. Sometime In the very near future - M.O.T. Theater:

ME: I bought 2 Cresticals.

FRIEND: Seriously?

ME: Yeah, 1 bronze and 1 titanium.

FRIEND: I’ve heard of brass, but....

ME: Yeah, I wanted one of each.

FRIEND: Do they feel different?

ME: They wear well at 42mm......

FRIEND: 42mm seems a little large...

ME: I have a 7 and a half inch....

FRIEND: Let me stop you right there

ME: Alright, I see you’re uncomfortable. You wanna see my new Parnis?

FRIEND: You’re dead to me.

Reminds me of Futurama "Problem with Popplers"...

"Rocky Mountain Oyster" would make the dial look very busy, what with the jumbo size markers.

So "Crestical" it is.

Maybe put me down for a sterile dial version (No, wait, that comes out wrong. Forget it.)

[CVP33]

How hard is it to get your strap-on your Crestical?

[tommy_boy]

Strap or codpiece?




OK, this thread has been hijacked.

I'm interested in the Titanium SW200 combo, but my friends would absolutely crush me once they read the name of the watch.

[CVP33]

I have to buy quartz. I’m not about to hand-wind my Cresticals.

[DogOnTime]

Ah yes, the classic external AND internal rotating bezels. Double duty for your Cresticals.

[Hurc85]

This one ends in 16 hours and it’s funded. Just an FYI, I asked if they’d do a sterile dial and they said yes. The name is definitely weird, but i really like the watch so I felt like a sterile dial helped bridge the gap for me.

To follow up this Kickstarter campaign for the forum favorite was:

SUCCESSFUL

144 backers pledged HK$ 416,216 to help bring this project to life.

The preorder has moved over to Indiegogo for anyone interested.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cres ... 16205959#/

Pricing seems consistent with Kickstarter tiers.

After some input from the Kickstarter supporters these guys decided to make the smart choice and changed thier brand name to “Crestic”. As JohnP said you can still pick the watch up on indeigogo

So now they cut of their Al? What does that make them?
