Some will buy. Some will pass. The 73rd and 76th Sturgis was/will be as good as the 75th. Is a 75th logo watch better? Of course not. Except the “souvenir” value.
It’s not about being a better watch. It’s about owning a watch just a little bit more different. Let the consumer decide.
Should there not be a motorcycle on the face???
Richards. I was thinking exactly like you. It’s not about a Mount Rushmore Anniversary! It’s about the Sturgis 75th Rally. Where is the chopper? Less sales.
Just so you know, there are MANY other styles–not just Rushmore–which IS a classic Sturgis icon– including one with a motorcycle, (see link below) but since 75 is the traditional diamond anniversary year, no matter what you are celebrating, the line was created for those who would like a piece of wearable art and history.

Soffa had his setup at the Tap Haus in Cave Creek for Arizona Bike Week and it seems he’s a pretty accomplished jewelry designer. Not just biker watches and related products but main stream jewelry.
