Received mine the other day and just wanted to pass along a big thank you. I love this thing!
I am a teacher and I have been talking about this watch since school started. When I showed it to my students this week they were all impressed.
Thanks so much for making these, I am so glad to be a part of this project.
I recieved my watch yesterday and WOW it's awsome. So worth the wait!!!!!! I'm very pleased with how well these timeless time pieces came out. Thank you Thomas and the rest of the team who made this happen. I'm so proud to be a part if this project.
I plan for this watch to be the item that is passed on to my son, and stay in my family for generations....
I really hope we could get something going and have a meet and greet at Celebration VI for all the backers and maybe discuss the project.
Any time frame for the Tee's and certificates?
Thank you again.... May the Force Be with You.
Received my watch yesterday and it is gorgeous. Wonderful craftsmanship from top to bottom. I couldn't be more happy to have been associated with this project. Thank you VERY much for a product that will easily be a highlight in my Star Wars collection.
I just received my watch today also, and it is just smply astonishing! I am actually afraid to wear it because I dont want to scratch it! Thanks Thomas. and everyone there at Legendary Time! You have truly lived up to your name with the Tatooine Timepiece!!!
just wanted to let everyone know that i got my watch today and it is AWESOME!!! it was very cool to be a part of this project.
Thomas, I sure wish you would check your email or your messages on here. I want to make sure that my watch is not going to an old address, since I ordered it almost a year ago. PLEASE get back with me before you send mine to me. my email is EdwinWilson2011@aol.com
thanks,
Edwin
90-95% filled and design B please! :-)
Design E! 100% filled.
90-95% is my preference. also i like the B style more
I like the 90-95% capsule....
I'm down for A. B is too busy. Simple is better. Thanks!
B looks much more compete.. I'm voting B
What ever they deside is good for me, I'm just greatful that they are able to fix my Tatooine home.
I WANT THE OPTION "B"... THE PANORAMA AND THE WRITTING.... IS A MUST
No writing, let's keep the design like the originally intended and what got me to plege my money. If anything add the suns but dump the vaporator, the landsape squiggle and the dumb lettering.
I would like with out the aurebush, less is more and I feel it looks classier.
without the aurebesh, looks to busy with it. just my 2 cents.
I love the new design, but prefer it without the Aurebesh. It's a cool idea, but you can only get so much on a watch face while avoiding clutter.
Love the new design with the twin suns and the moisture vaporator. Can't wait to get it!
Love the moisture collector in there. Green light
Awesome! The new design with the additional Tattooine elements is great!
love the new design... go for it....
The link I had to the form doesn't work any longer. Please retransmit or whatever.

Best, Thomas
Looks great, looking forward to wearing a piece of Tatooine ;)
Thanks!
I would like to know If it's possible ? How many Canadians is a BACKER to this AWESOME project !!!
Thanks
Im a member of the 501st (TK6799) and just backed this incredible project. Where would I put that info in for the reward (other than right here LOL) :)
ahh such an amazing project! I am honored to be part of this, Mark has always been the greatest guy-and fan, and I can't thank him and his colleagues enough for doing such an incredible job over the years! I don't see myself making an expedition, but I hope someday to meet you all.
Btw, how long will it take to make & shop these items? And how many characters can be used for the engraving on the limited edition watch?
Awesome...Soo glad the goal has been surpassed. I only wish I could go along for the expedition.
I'm SO glad we've reached the goal and these gems are really being made! Never underestimate the power of pioneers/movie lovers.
I feel blessed to have helped preserve this Star Wars location for further generations to come. I hope the Moss Espa set will be saved as well (when it needs to be saved). In any case you'll have my support for that project for sure!!!
And thanks to ALL pledgers out there who helped to realize this project!
Now, if you want to excuse me... => I'm going to pledge some more! :D
Congrats on reaching the goal! Finally put in my chunk of change to help the Homestead. This awesome watch is just the bonus (would love a shirt and certificate as well) but excited to see these get made nonetheless... Looking forward to hearing about the expedition as it goes forward! - Ruark Dreher, Producer, www.hughestheforce.com
I'm very privileged to see the project has reached its target! Congrats!
I shall look forward to receiving my watch which I'll definitely wear at CVI next year!
May the Force be with you all!!! :-)
AMAZING !!!! WOW !!! THANKS TO EVERY FAN OF STAR WARS !!!
VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY HAPPY !!!! MERCI BEAUCOUP A TOUS !!!
Powerful the Force is. Powerful...
Congratulations! Happy to help.
WOO HOO! Weesa gettin watches!!!
I was going to add to my pledge to get a second watch and possibly a t-shirt, but I don't see a way to do that. When I go to "manage your pledge" all it will let me do is select a different amount.
Incredible, just incredible..... Looks like we're all gonna get these watches very soon! We should all meet up online on a facebook page some time!
17 watches to go (at the $107 level), making it just more than one watch per day! This is definitely happening! Waiting excitedly to see the pledge count reach its goal!!!
SO close!!! Come on people, we can do this!!! :D I can't wait to be one of the lucky few who get one of these watches!!!
I have already contacted everyone in my address book, including people I have not spoken with in quite some time. I calculated that exactly 50 of the LE watch level donations are all that remain, so here's hoping for the best these final 16 days! Let's PUSH everyone! Pass this on to friends, family, co-workers, random people on the street, EVERYONE! Let's make this happen! Help become a part of history and let's do everything we can to help Thomas reach his goal!
Now 75% funded, so things certainly seem to be picking up! But that's precisely the time things need that extra big push. I've been contacting everyone I can possibly think of, including a friend of mine who sends out a pretty big mailing list. So hopefully if everyone has one concentrated effort the total can be reached and even surpassed. Maybe you could also consider upping your own pledge a little. Even $5 here and there could make all the difference. I'm not suggesting it's going to happen but if everyone increased their pledge by $33 then that's all it would take to reach the total. I mentioned it just to show how close things really are right now. :)
Let the push begin!!! Once we get our latest podcast episode out people will come!!! "Sarlacc Pit"....:0)
These LIMITED EDITION watches will be an amazing thing to own for years to come. Only 1138 people will have one!
I Happy To Be Part In This Project !!!
