March 11th: Upcoming Vacation
We will be away between April 11th through May 20th on vacation. I had considered shutting down the site while I am away but realized that there is a lot of maintenance that is long overdue…not to mention it might misinterpreted. Among other things we haven’t changed our prices in about 2 years despite numerous increases in the price of various components. The last day to submit orders with our “old” prices will be March 31st. From April 1st through May 14th the login/checkout functions on our site will be disabled so that we can make the changes and perform the updates we need to take care of.
While you will not be able to login/checkout between April 1st and May 14th the cart function will work so that you can continue to browse our site and price out future purchases/projects. However when you go to “checkout” or “login” you will be re-directed to an information page explaining that we aren’t taking orders at that time. Please note that between May 14th and May 21st we will not be able to process orders. If you place an order during that time you will receive a response after we are back on the 21st. Also between April 1st and May 14th the prices you see in the “Cart” may differ from those listed on the site because price changes do not propagate automatically throughout the entire site.
We should be able to answer e-mails while we are away if I should have any problems accessing e-mail I will post a note here on the blog.
As we work to ship our orders before we leave on the 10th please note that e-mails to our info account may go unanswered until after April 20th. We are currently running one week behind schedule which would be fine but we got a “late” order from one our dealers for custom Seikos that we need to fill before we leave.

Dear Bill,
Glad to hear it’s a heavy workload and nothing untoward that has kept you submerged! You’re so busy because you’re the best.
Take it easy; hope to see you in Basel…

Bill,
Will the custom order or the “Swiss choice” Stingray page be up and running so that we can amuse ourselves while you are away?
Regards,
Mike

Will the Stingray configuration page be up before you take your much-deserved break? I’m very anxious to see hands and the other dial config.

The pre-order’s customer page is up but “hidden” and the preview page for general ordering will be posted later this week.

The Swiss Made Stingray page I hope to have up before I leave. The launch of the Swiss Made versions have been delayed until July/August because of a delay in the movement delivery. I have enough movements on hand to begin delivery of the custom versions as originally planned.
