Love the decorated rotor! Very glad I Kickstarted ya for one each; I may be tempted to wear one on each wrist. Perhaps one with the caseback up. Well, probably not but the decorated rotor is gorgeous. Great idea being realized. Thanks gentlemen!
You will undoubtedly need to send us a photo if you sport them one on each wrist! 😂 So glad you love it, thank you for the support!
The extra strap brought a grin; the decorated rotor brings three cheers! Bravo! And Tyler is correct, the decorated rotor makes the watch a complete project. It is greatly appreciated. Great decision. Can't wait to receive it. Thank you.
Hurrah! Thank you for sharing, so grateful for the support. Looking forward to sending!
As a former technical engineer, watch collector and a Kickstarter support to CWC, I appreciate the open, honest and technical update. I love the technical details you both cover. Nicely done. Look forward to the upcoming updates.
Thanks for saying that, it is important to us to be transparent in the process. Stay tuned!
You guys are making Penn State very proud. Can’t wait to receive my watch.
Thank you for the kind words! We can't wait to get it to you.
Great job guys! Thanks a lot! Wish you luck and success🙏
Thank you! 😃
Just came across you guys. I'm down in Colorado Springs. Following along!
Great! Come by some time, we'd love to show you around.
They all look great. I'll see you guys in Washington DC.
See you there!
I can’t wait for the new GCT! I should have ordered a field watch too. The stripes with Red log really pop now. I’ll find the perfect pocket watch for conversion.
You'll get a chance soon, but thanks SO MUCH for ordering the GCT! Can't wait to see what you find, Robert.
I'm excited to get my field watch! Really looking forward to a shipping notice!
Slightly bummed it doesn't have a screw down crown but so be it, still love the look of the variation I chose.
Looking forward to more content and new watch projects in the future!
Thanks so much for the support, Todd! We are excited to share as well as for what is to come in the future.
Super excited about the rotor. That looks so great. I chose option number 5 because I thought it was a smooth white dial. I wanted it to look almost like an old enamel dial. Now getting to see the ridges it will have, I think I may want to switch. Is there any way to get final-final versions of these dial options, provide high-rez photos of each, and then ask us one last time to confirm our choice? (Customers are such a pain... sorry.)
We totally get it and we'd love to do anything we can! Please email us at info@coloradowatchcompany.com and we’ll start a conversation and get you what you need!
Nice job on the rotor! Also, when can I buy a hat?
I wanna hat, too! I think they mentioned they're getting better hats so maybe soon?
We just received the hats and we’re shipping them to Kickstarter backers first, then we’ll get them up on the site for sale! It may be a little bit, but we have plenty now and they’re awesome! Please email us if you want to buy a hat and we’ll send you a link to purchase when it’s ready.
Where can I buy that CWC hat?
