Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Vario - Empire Art Deco watch
As I know how much I'm going to have to pay for my deductible cost and still unsure of how much my citation is going to net out, I passed on this one unfortunately.
But as [mention]yinzburgher[/mention] mentioned, there's always going to be another watch.

Aw, sorry to hear it...but a very healthy perspective. Good luck with the ticket...A hassle, but life will go on. At least no one was hurt.

Re: Preorder: Kickstarter: Vario - Empire Art Deco watch
If anyone is a backer for this project, would you mind letting the creator and other backers know they can discuss the Kickstarter here at MoT as well?
This could be a good alternative discussion area, since you can only comment on Kickstarter if you have backed the project.
Here's a handy link for the Vario Empire to share on Kickstarter if you so choose:
