Watchlords

The Paulson Pearl Diver weighs the same as an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultralight but costs a whole lot less.

Questionable lume layout on the hour hand as well.

Were these ever released? Not much info after late last year.
Not a bad watch if it exists.

Looks like they are still in the "Starter" stage:

from their website:

PRODUCTION PLAN
Manufacturing your orders will immediately commence at the end of the campaign. It will take 90 to 120 days for production.

By backing the first production run, you will be able to enjoy a huge discount on your Paulson Pearl Diver. Rest assured that we will provide you with regular production and delivery updates.



EARLY BIRD PERKS ON INDIEGOGO.COM
USD 199.00 per timepiece for the first 50 backers

USD 229.00 per timepiece for the next 200 backers

USD 279.00 per timepiece for the next 200 backers

USD 299.00 per timepiece for additional backers

STRETCH GOALS
If we reach USD 80,000, we will add serial numbers on the back of all the watches and this will identify your watch as part of the first production run.

clicking the "order now" button brings up my e-mail.

And the Indiegogo page looks like it was a no-go:

Perhaps it is still moving forward; perhaps I'll send them an e-mail and find out.

Kickstarter.......
ahahahahahahahaha

Pat Paulsen was never elected president, either.

No way I'd ever - ever - jump through hoops like that to get a deal on a watch, even if it came with a 50-slot dive box and sand from Jacques Cousteau's shower stall. Make a watch and sell it to me. Don't make me pay for the "privilege" of someday owning a $300 watch.

Kuck Fickstarter.

They replied to my e-mail, on a Sunday, no less.

I sent another e-mail, saying I would like to pay via PayPal. I got this reply:

Not with a 10 foot pole.

But, but, but this wartch is only $275

and, and, and has the same weight of an Omega.











------> still laughing my ass off

Nope. I'd try the Nigerian prince grift before this.

That's the best deal I've seen since the IRS started taking payments with Walmart gift cards.

Bank wire transfer to someone with no address other than an Abu Dhabi hotel - that's special.

Not a chance.

Not a chance.

I'll write back to say that I will wait until they can accept PayPal.

This has been good for a few laughs but if she can't do something as simple as PayPal(and I'm not buying her excuse for a second), there's no way I'm sending her a nickel.

The About Us page says this;
Paulson Watches Ltd. is a Swedish - Canadian family owned business.

What part of Canada or Sweden is Abu Dhabi in?

They based the company down in the British Virgin Isles. I suppose Paulina is living in exile in Abu Dhabi.

Sounds like some sort of money laundering shell company set up.

Should be a sticky

Got an e-mail from Paula; Paulson watches is now accepting PayPal. Their titanium watch is available for $225 until the end of the year. The payment is to a jewelry store in Abu Dhabi.

I am waiting for their intro of the Minnie Pearl Diver.

Of course, you'd have to wear it with the price tag attached.

Nice! They accommodated your PayPal request which was holding you back on this badboy.
We all expect a detailed unboxing of this watch and a thorough review when it arrives.

Congrats again on this purchase.
