Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Ikepod - Megapod Automatic
Interesting design. Also ballsy of them to offer the 11-pack. Not sure who'd drop 12 grand on 11 colors of the same watch.
Even ballsier is to offer a colorway only for bakers. Gotta send a homemade pie to order the watch.

I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Ikepod - Megapod Automatic
So I will say it...these are gratuitously overpriced. Seriously, $600-1000+ for a Miyota in a somewhat unique case? What am I missing?

Re: PREORDER: Brand Direct: Ikepod - Megapod Automatic
This was my thoughts exactly. Even if I loved the watch, I could not get myself to pay that price.watchpalooza wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 3:16 pm So I will say it...these are gratuitously overpriced. Seriously, $600-1000+ for a Miyota in a somewhat unique case? What am I missing?
