Title: Swiss Made Nereide GMT launching soon on Kickstarter
Post by: Loris-76 on August 14, 2018, 01:25:56 AM: Hi guys!

Yesterday I was spending my time in Facebook groups and I was particularly impressed by a photo in the stream that caught my attention. What I'm talking about is Nereide GMT, a diver watch by Meccaniche Veneziane with ETA 2893-2. I already own a lot of diver watches but I'm impressed by the colors and the good quality for the money (ETA GMT and sapphire glass).
I was almost going to pull the trigger on my third Steiny (exactly, I already have two lol) but now I'm seriously considering to buy it when it will be available on Kickstarter.
Here there are some shots I've taken from Meccaniche Veneziane website.

What do you think of this timepiece?

they should go 38-40mm instead.
idk, unnecessary 42mm like tudors.
hey man. its just my preferences :Cheers:

I'll wait September 1st!!! :Cheers:

But if cheap enough to thrash around, why not ? ;D

Post by: lee882888 on September 13, 2018, 04:15:08 PM: How much is the retail of one of these? Looks nice but really, perhaps lacking of heritage and horology which people like me will have a second thought on purchasing it, especially its from a start up hmm

You get a resilient Sapphire sandwich and ETA serviceability. It takes design cues from iconic watches.

Microbrands in general tend to target watch enthusiasts whom want something 'affordable' but are turned off by fashion brands.

Most important is you as a buyer / backer have got to like it and not seek to get anyone else's approval. It's for your own enjoyment, so resale value shouldnt even factor in your mind. But yes, there's definitely a risk involved (as with all Kickstarters)
