Updates: December 5th
Things have been quiet here on the surface at Mk II. Behind the scenes I have been hard at work preparing for the holiday season, delivering orders, putting into place new procedures to improve customer service and developing new products for 2007. The new year will bring two new Mk II watch models (more on that later) and new offerings for the Seiko parts line. Pictures of the case for the much anticipated Fifty Fathoms homage will be posted tomorrow. As for the Seiko parts line many of you have been very patient with me but its been too long since we introduced something new. In the coming months we will be asking for customer input regarding new designs and parts for the Seiko product line.
The new year will also bring some hard choices for me. After much thought I have come to the realization that I will have to stop offering custom Seikos directly. Instead Mk II will continue to design and offer parts only. As much as I love the Seiko watches as a platform for customization given their versatility, quality and ruggedness the watches just require more time and resources than I can afford to dedicate as the business continues to grow. I hope that by doing this I will be better able to expand the dealer network to other regions, take better care of the dealers that I currently have, and leave me more time to expand the parts offering for Seikos. The last day to order custom Seikos directly from Mk II will be January 15th, 2007.
In recent weeks I have fallen off the pace a little bit when it comes to deliveries due to the holidays and my daughter catching something from her cousins when they visited over Thanksgiving. Production is now gradually getting back on track. Thanks for everyone’s patience.

Thank you! I hope you post the pictures of the Fifty Fathoms homage case in the morning, as I won’t be able to get much work done while I constantly refresh your site waiting for the update.
Thank you so very much for taking on this project. It means a lot to us enthusiasts. I hope to be the first in line to pre-order.
