Hello together,
after a long journey I am arrived in the factory and saw 100 Sea Devils ready assembled.  Pictures from some watches will come tomorrow.
Please don't ask which numbers!!!!!
All the steel watches which have been pre ordered should be ready this week.
The PVD are not back from coating yet.
I guess the biggest part can be shipped within this week. But before I have to control the watches and see if the assembling is correct. Than I have to fill out the shipping papers, this is the part I really dislike.:(


I have already had the first Moray case sample in my hands todaysnoopy1.gif, and I will post a pic this week and maybe the sample dials are also ready this week.
Today all was a little busy.

Now I will take a little sleep. Regards Ralf

Awesome update Ralf.  Since you are shipping directly from China(?), Which carrier will you be using?

Can't wait to receive the watch.

Great news, Ralf! I can't speak for anyone else, but yes, definitely take the time to make sure everything is right. After waiting this long, I can survive for a few more days.

In an earlier communication Ralf said all shipments to the US will be via UPS.

A short message from me.
Tomorrow 24 watches will ship for sure probaly many more.
 I had to make some changes because they told me the wrong shipping cost. No worry this is not your problem it is only mine. But the have shipped a parcel with 3 watches and with UPS for $138 , that is a little bit more than the expected $50:(
The parcels tomorrow will be sent with DHL express because  it is closer at $50 and same fast.
 From China I can send express from Germany I would send standard, so many watches should arrive next week.
 There are always some new things to learn and the language problem cost a lot time.
I have added a picture from a white dial with skeleton hands the other colors follow later  because my camera battery  was empty and the loader in the hotel.
 And also some pics from the first Moray case sample still not perfect, but already very nice also the bracelet.
 Now I will go on with writing your shipping invoices and shipping papers, still a lot to do but I hurry up. PVD watches are back from coating and will be assembled in the next days.

RALF --

Pictures look wonderful... the MORAY case looks great !  I am probably going to pre-order at least one more.  And most certainly, if the EEL poll is favorable to a dark green dial / engraved case back design by Steve Laughlin.

Some more pics. The black and blue with correct hands.
 I found a bezel and played with the Moray case sample.
And the leather strap from the black dial version with black stitching.

25 have been shipped today and 28 will leave tomorrow , parcels are ready tomorrow they go. Tomorrow all Steel versions should be ready assembled, it takes a long time but they do very carefully.
 Please don't ask me which one I am still busy with the PVD which are now in the assembling and testing phase, but I bet there will be soon some firts customer pictures appear in the forum.

Ralf,  I can't speak for everyone else but I really like that bezel you've got on the Moray case.  Just add a lume triangle at 12 and it would be perfect...;)

Nice to hear they are on there way soon, I am looking forward to my #12 White dial, brushed case, and orange skeletonized minute hand and orange tipped second hand. I have a space reserved next to my #32 Barracuda waiting to be occupied. Now it's time to pre-order the Green dialed Moray with the caseback logo of the eel. Very nice touch to a really nice concept watch. Great job Ralf!!! and Steve too for the artwork..........Dan

Black dial with BLACK DATE DIAL looks much better than black dial with ate white date dial.

 

Blue dial also looks great! (mine is black...!)

I didn't know that blue verson is that pretty!

It is really good match with orange!

You'd only have a real problem if you peed someone ELSE'S pants subtlelaugh.gif .

 

I'd have gotten the orange if I didn't have so many orange dialed divers already. I have ALWAYS wanted a yellow dialed watch, but have never owned one, so that is what is on the way for me ... blasted #10.

Ralf. Do you know if I need to pay the customs taxes when the watch come to Europe?

You have your company in Europe and I don't need to pay any taxes when I buy things in Europe but how will it bee since you are sending the watches from China?

Extremely nice watch btw. I am very eager to receive mine! The leather strap looks great!

I asked Ralf about this early on. Ralf will ship the european orders from Germany (he'll bring them home with him from China, and take care of customs) - so you don't need to bother about customs at all. It has all been arrangedThumbsUp02.gif
