Anstead OCEANIS
The abundance of watch projects on Kickstarter is old news. The internet's most popular crowd funding website is jam packed with a vast array of watch and watch related projects, most notable of which is the Pebble digital "watch" with its E-Ink display and ability to pair with the Apple iPhone. But there has been a noticeable absence of traditional watch projects on Kickstarter – mechanical watches, watches that are free from gimmicks, and watches by companies with a sustainable vision. Or more aptly put, watch projects that actual watch geeks can get behind. That's why we are really excited to see the Anstead Watches OCEANIS project thriving on the Kickstarter platform.Anstead Watches was founded by Tom Anstead, a Navy Veteran and a man with a clear passion for watches that are to be owned, worn and enjoyed by everyone. He makes it very clear on his Kickstarter page that his company was bred out of this passion and a desire to bring a well designed yet affordable watch to the m

SS Watches Scarcity Just An Illusion
I have been gauging the market and it seems there are a lot of flippers that bought these watches to make money and are now having trouble selling them even at retail. Batmans going for maybe 500 over retail finding no buyers. D Blues for under retail in the same boat. The true market is the wearer market, and it seems to be well supplied. No one is desperate enough to pay over retail. Soon I expect to see these watches on display at AD��s.I am sorry if this is not what some want to hear, I am just stating my true thoughts as I see them.
