3 weeks to go and 2/3 of the way to the goal. I think it's a little early to declare the patient dead.TheBeatles wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 3:49 pm
Looking like (at the moment), that the Newmark might not reach goal.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
I backed it! This is the high quality, affordable, clean, tool-like, but stylish diver I have been searching for. Ewen is a watch lover who made this for watch lovers. If you haven't checked out the campaign info on kickstarter over the reviews on Youtube, they make a compelling case. My wallet took a hit but I am going to love this watch.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
I’ve just checked the campaign with a view to investing, but not looking good anyway.
Approx £20k needed with 15 days left, so my £590 wouldn’t help anyway. The 2 Watch option was the better deal, with 5 of 10 spaces left.

How do you work out that your '£590 wouldn’t help anyway'?TheBeatles wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 4:18 pm Approx £20k needed with 15 days left, so my £590 wouldn’t help anyway. The 2 Watch option was the better deal, with 5 of 10 spaces left.
At this stage it's only a commitment to buy, so everyone who commits is helping towards the goal. No?

What I mean is that even with my money the target won’t be in reach, I’ll hang on awhile longer before a final decision.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
Fair point, but other 2 campaigns I’ve backed have reached goal in minutes. Might say a lot about this one. The date window is holding me back at the moment. Seems double stacked unnecessarilyFloridaPhil wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 8:33 pmIf everyone did that, no goal would ever be reached!TheBeatles wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 4:25 pm Hi Phil,

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
Although I've backed it at the Super Earlybird price I'm still in 2 minds about it
I agree that the double stacked date window does seem strange, however, I believe that there are no date versions for the Black and Blue dial but typically not for the silver dial which is my colour preference.
I'll end up going back and forth looking at them before making a final decision as to whether to continue or pull out.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
Hi StrapMeister,
I am a backer too. Ewan has noted that a no-date silver dial is the top stretch goal. Many including myself want that one and I do believe he will offer it if the project makes. I am fine with the silver date version though. There is always something about every single watch I own that I would change but I still love them. I would not have any watches waiting for a "perfect" one.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
Forgot to note, FYI, if you are interested in this watch, the owner announced this will be the only production run ever. Kickstarter ends July 16 so if you want one, you will need to back before then.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
Just my opinion, but I still think that shipping from Far East for a UK company has been the undoing of this campaign.
It may well still reach the required goal, but going to be close.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
Can someone explain why they find this so objectionable? He can ship from the far East, and charge 300 GBP, plus 20% VAT on landing, or ship from England and charge 360 GBP. I fail to see the difference. Am I missing something?TheBeatles wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2019 4:10 pm Just my opinion, but I still think that shipping from Far East for a UK company has been the undoing of this campaign.
