Status: Oct. 21st
Due to being hampered by a bad cold no orders were shipped last week. Orders will resume shipping this week and I will be re-scheduling orders on Monday as required.
I spent most of last week resting and taking care of some overdue site maintenance and paperwork. I also worked on prepping Vantage parts so that they can go off to Switzerland for assembly. This was about what I could handle given some pretty bad vertigo. There was little work done on watch orders currently outstanding.
At this point I am about 1 1/2 weeks behind schedule on custom watch orders. Before catching this bad cold I had reached a point where I was operating back on-schedule. Unfortunately I had pushed myself too hard to catch up and basically I am back where I started about 2 months ago when it comes to the current delay. So going forward I will take a less aggressive approach to making up time on the schedule so one can expect that this 1 1/2 delay will be gradually worked down over the next 3 months rather than weeks.

Hi Bill,
I have a couple of orders due to ship on 10 Nov. Does this means it will be delayed?
Regards

Hi Jimbo,
Not necessarily. I have built in one week periods every 6 weeks or so where nothing is scheduled to ship in case the schedule slips. The next slack week is the end of this month. However if you have a specific issue that I need to take into account with regards to your order please contact me via e-mail. The likelyhood is that I won’t be able to make up all the time in that week.
