Mk II Sea Fighter
Announcing the first image of our third dive watch, the Mk II Sea Fighter.
For more information please see our site.
To learn more about the inspiration for this watch I recommend Konrad Knirim’s “Military Timepieces”.
May 27th
A quick update:
*Replies to e-mails to the “info” account are almost up to date.
*Replies to the “orderstatus” account are still backloged but will be taken care of in the next day or two
*Parts orders have been scheduled and the sales orders with the updated ship dates will be sent out by Tuesday
*Watch orders will be scheduled in the next day or two and the e-mails will go out by Thursday
Please note that we are out of stock of the Seiko sapphire crystals. More are on order but are not expected to arrive back in stock until the end of July. My apologies for this inconvenience. This will affect some of the orders already received for parts.
Back in the US
I am finally back in the US but won’t be back at my desk until Wednesday. We ended up bringing back too much stuff from Taiwan. I had to leave my wife and daughter up in NYC, where we flew in, and make a trip just to PA just to bring back our luggage. I have to go up to NYC this morning to pick them up and we should all be back tomorrow afternoon.
Online ordering
Online ordering is now open. Please note that we will not be able to download orders from our server until May 22nd. We will begin shipping orders again by May 31st.
E-mail problem
I am currently unable to send messages via Outlook. I am not sure why but this does happen to my e-mail system sometimes when I travel. My mail server for some reason when I travel sometimes does not recognize my login to send messages via Outlook. Unfortunately this means that e-mails to the “info” account and the “orderstatus” account will not receive replies until after I return to the US. The auto-reply will also not be sent until I get back to the US. I am able to receive your messages and download them. The problem seems to be with the outgoing messages only.
Hopefully I will be able to clear up the problem before I return to the US but if not I do appreciate your understanding and please accept my apologies for this inconvenience.
Web Site Updates
I am currently in the process of updating our web site. You will notice inconsistences between prices listed on the web pages and those calculated by the shopping cart. When online ordering is re-opened the lower prices seen in the cart will be honored. The discrepancy will be cleared up once we are back at the office and have a chance to re-synch with the server. Some of the preview functions will not be completely functional on the MMT. For example certain hand sets will not preview correctly until we have a chance to re-work the preview function at the end of the month.
Many items have been re-categorized. For example the section formally called “Send in your own watch” has been re-named and moved to the Parts and Accessories section since it more accurately reflects what we actually provide. Services have not been cut but have been moved around on the site.
The Gallery section will now be the new home for pictures of customer watches and customer feedback. The headings in the section are currently wrong but that will also be cleaned up once we are back in the US. Other sections including the DIY section is also going to be removed from the navigation. However the content will be relocated to the FAQ section and some of the tutorials will be re-located to the blog.
I hope that the changes will make navigating the site easier. The changes will also mean that many new products will be available.
I am currently going through e-mails. Please note that if you have an issue or urgent request regarding an open/shipped order please e-mail me at the “orderstatus” account as those messages receive priority.
