I find this very very strange as well!

I'm sure Bill is as anxious as everyone else to get the Kingston project put to bed. With the other watches in the pipeline already (LRRP and Paradive) the Pan Am project, the 300 and the redesigned Stingray, there's lots to look forward to from MKII.

As a 300 guy, I think you meant to say the 300 then the Pan AM! It's semantics, but I don't want to plant any seeds!

i wasn't listing them in any particular order, just as they popped into my head!. Certainly the Project 300 as well as the Stingray are a lot closer to reality than is the Pan Am project, which looks to still be quite a ways off.

Any of you who got "Build in Progress" notifications last week have any updates? I received a notification around the same time you guys did, but I haven't heard/received anything since.

I have bunch of the Kingstons here in final testing. I will have to go through the ticket system to see if the system is up to date for all the work that has been done. I have since started a number of the watches of the posters here.

I have been trying to work on a new schedule that will allow me to balance my responsibilities more evenly, such as tending to the comments and requests of the forum. This has meant that the watches are getting started per the work schedule but getting them finished has proved more difficult and I am still making adjustments to the way we are working with the schedule. More practically this means that I will allocating more time to production work this week to complete the Kingston watches that are "nearly done".

I made the decision to get a follow the revised schedule and bring a lot of watches to the same stage of requiring just their bezels and bracelets because attaching the bezels and bracelets is something I can predict more accurately than the time required for regulation and re-working the hand alignment and stem lengths that precedes that stage. I will be dedicating Thursday this week to completing as many of these watches as I can and see if I have to work through the weekend. This also means that I may not be "online" this Thursday.

Bill, thanks for the reply! (I went to the forum with this specifically so as not to bother you and Winnie.) Home stretch; can't wait.

Thanks Bill, appreciate your efforts in getting these watches out to us.

[Arthur]

Thanks very much for the update Bill. i'm sure a good many of the regulars on the forum were excited to hear that some of them will be getting their kingstons soon. I really appreciate you taking time from work to sit down at the computer and answer members questions and post updates.
