Why would you buy a watch on kickstarter?

KS and micro-brand watches in general are quite loved in the enthusiast community. They can have very interesting designs (some great, some awful, and some meh) but they almost always excel in value. One can build a nice collection of 10 micro-brands for what an entry-level Rolex would cost. They also are often easy to flip if you decide you don't like them since you can usually get most if not all your money back, maybe a few bucks more. This often happens with KS and some micro-brand watches because they may only get made once. Plus if you get one of the highly discounted early birds on KS and people end up wanting it afterwards when the price goes up you might be able to packet a couple of hundred bucks if you aren't enthralled with it.

The Audric watch in question is a very nice looking 500m diver with a Swiss Sellita SW200 movement. It has a nice 70's diver vibe.
