February 1st
At this time I have to push the lead times for custom watches out to 16 weeks. The reason that the lead times have jumped so suddenly is because I am almost out of 2824 movements and I will be taking some time off in April/May right after the Basel show. The remaining movements that we have on hand are going to be reserved for the upcoming Stingray launch so that we can minimize any delays before our next movement order is due in from ETA in June. The movement delivery timetable gave me a natural window to take my wife and daughter to visit my in-laws. So tentatively we will be “out” between April 11th and May 20th. I do expect the lead times to naturally come down to a more normal level as April approaches.
Below are two custom MMT “Blackwaters” that we just shipped out. I’ll post pics of two Seikos that we finished in a little bit.
The pre-order page for the Stingray will be going up probably later today. I didn’t get to finishing up the page today.

Both of these look great (CDNs have great taste!) but I’m partial to the first one

Looking forward to Stingray 50 orders being up.

I have a Blackwater on order (#1374) with an expected ship date of 2/10/2007. Does the change of lead time impact earlier orders’ delivery or only new orders?

Hi James,
No the new lead times do not affect orders already placed only new orders. Your order is expected to ship late but by the 14th this week.
Best,
Bill
