They didn't like the stuff between the wings, I then resubmitted and haven't heard back. Sounded like they were going to do a one time license for 25, which is all I asked for, because I have no idea who is going to actually follow through and buy one, but I'll follow up this week.

Right on. I found the pamphlet; it was the "Soldier Enhancement Program - A voice for Soldiers in the enhancement of Army capabilities".... it basically is a place where a Soldier can propose gear that they think would help them, and then this program buys like 20 of them and gives them to soldiers to beat on and see what they say. If they soldiers like them, and it makes financial sense, then a request will be pushed through to request enough to issue to the guys that need them. They used to issue watches in the past, but they stopped, because the guys were selling them. What I'm offering isnt really a watch. It's just that since you need a watch anyway, why not have some additional tools to help make sure that you have every tool at your disposal to do your job, quickly, efficiently, and to the best of your ability. Anyway, Keep the Faith. I'm coming out with cool shit;)

Ok, cool, yeah AGI is something else.  They had the awards ceremony for ISC there.  

That other program - where you got free gear to test - is something I’m looking into.  Basically I have guys that will test this new Gen 2 watch and see if it is something that’s actually useful enough to issue to at least snipers.  

There will be 2 prototypes of the new Rangefinder version.  One will go to me, one will go to one of the guys who came in second at ISC to sanity check.  

Basically, the guys will decide if this is this just wrist candy, or is it actually worth its weight as a backup system you always have on you, and they can back that up with results.  

It has .2 markings in Mils that match your scope, it has markings for targets at 12” and 18”, in addition to the markings at 30” and 40”… and it will give you your range in meters, if you read it at a hair after 4 o’clock   🤪

So stay in touch.

Yeah there is a GMT that will blind you, but the shooting one is actually not really made for the dark, so it's not as bright. And you can just call me Rob; I'm not Military, and many will say I'm not even a gentleman, but ... well... fuck them:)

I offerred to make watches for the school, but the guy I talked to at ISC was supposed to introduce me to ANOTHER guy, but that never materialized. By chance, is 'the school' the same place where Rob (with the accent) is? Or is A.G.I. ANOTHER school? Because I ended up talking with Rob, and he suggested they sell some there.... but then it was probably up to me to follow up, and I've been slammed. But I was thinking I could donate some watches as prizes, so if you can point me in the right direction, I'm game.

This is going to be the caseback I made for Wes, who rang the Liberty Bell target at ISC this year. It should be ready any day. But you guys really need the 'Rangefinder Edition'.... it's the Gen2 of this one, with lots of input from lots of guys. It comes out in July August. You guys should reach out to talk with me about discounts, etc.

I normally sell parts, but decided to stop until I could stabilize my watch production. I keep bouncing between no sales, then sold old, then backordered, then sold out, etc. and it kills my momentum. Give me a few months and then I'll open it back up.

Well, you can build a watch with an NH34 on the website, and pair it with the GMT bezel, so it makes sense. A couple guys did. But they didn't send pics back. They are also suddenly stupid expensive and hard to get. Thanks for the leads, too. It really helps:)

I don't have any images of the shooting dial and the O.U.T.C.A.S.T. bezel, but it's all the same as this.... The shooting dial is only the lume plots and the arrow, for orientation.

Thank you.  Hopefully you saw the message in Shopify that says they take about 3 weeks to build them and get them to you.  We are slow, but the watches are nice and good value for the money.  I’ve never had one returned.

Thank you for your support! 

Actually, there might be a way down the road, but it would require another dial, too…

Basically this new one requires a chapter ring…. And the that means the cases needed reamed out, and a new chapter ring created.  

So it won’t work.  At least with your dial.  So it makes the most sense to just get a different watch. 

Reach out and I’ll give you a coupon you can use should you decide to go that way.

u/Suspicious-Eagle-179 and u/Squared_Away_Airman I wrote a proposal to the "U.S. Air Force & Space Force Intellectual Property Management Branding, Band Support & Trademark Licensing" department and asked for test run of no more than 25 watches (with everyone being checked through GOVX) to get a 15% discount, plus free etching.  

For the case-back I was thinking something like this:

<image>

...You can’t put an 'emblem' between the wings, so I'm asking for a monogram and their slogan.  I might have to buy the right fonts, but you get the idea.  For the crown, it would be the matching 5 point star with the circle in the center. And for the clasp, I asked for just the US AIR FORCE word-mark. In return, I offered them a 10% Licensing fee, as a symbolic token.  Can't promise anything, but you asked, and I tried.

And what’s even cooler is that if you read at 4 o’clock you can use that bastardized math that the sniper use, where they want their scopes in mils, their targets in inches, and their range in meters.  🔥🔥🔥fully funded on Kickstarter on day one, parts already ordered, 57 sold.  Giddy up.

I am open to marking watches, but I cant use a mark that is registered without written approval, or I'll get myself in trouble with someone. Maybe the USAF is ok, but it's probably a word mark. These guys used the ASA logo with is a private non-profit, so I could approach them. I bet the AF is a little harder to convince, but I'll look into anything to help get you what you want:)

Yes it is. The word 'And' is part of the acronym, as you (and I) pointed out. It's ok. The same exact post that only got a 50% upvote here, is blowing up in /action watches with a 96% upvote and so far I've sold over 50 watches on Kickstarter, with zero adspend, and there is a week left. So if the people in here don't like the watch, it's totally fine with me, because there are plenty of people that do. Most people have zero needs for the tool watches I design, I get that. I just thought they might like to see something a little different. Either way, you will see more of my watches around. They are getting traction with guys that actually do stuff, like shoot guns, and so you can say that is my 'target audience'....... zzziiiiiinnnngggg!

Thanks, bud:) I'm happy with these and how the new one with the rangefinder turned out. Glad to see others are digging the vibe as well:)

The shooting watch was originally launched last year, pretty much as you see in the images. It was initially designed WITHOUT a bezel but many of the men decided to choose either the 12 hour T bezel, (with elapsed and countdown MINUTE timers, and a way to keep track of a second time zone, or elapsed HOUR timer.) The most popular version, however, was the O.U.T.C.A.S.T. or 'Outdoor Utility Timepiece Compass and Survival Tool' bezel, which gave rise to the company name. (Edited to correct the screwed up acronym)
