As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

All the dials look good and makes it hard to pick but I'm hoping for Stretch Goal number 2

This is one of the most honest Kickstarter campaigns I've seen, no marketing crap. I really hope they get funded and it's a success.

As its a quartz, in case it matters, the seconds hand doesn't hit markers.

The chrono seconds sweeps at 1/5 resolution like a mechanical chronograph. I personally couldn't care less if the sub-seconds doesn't hit. I can't see it without my reading glasses on anyway! :lol:
