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.

So I will say it...these are gratuitously overpriced. Seriously, $600-1000+ for a Miyota in a somewhat unique case? What am I missing?

For anyone interested, there is one week left to use the VIP link above to preorder the Megapod watches.

This was my thoughts exactly. Even if I loved the watch, I could not get myself to pay that price.
