As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

This is the most recent update, but not "recent recent" (came out about a month ago). Since I just looked up the info myself, I thought I'd share it here so you don't have to dig for the info from one of their emails.
Due to Covid-19, they have added 10 days to the delivery target dates, even though they "think they can still hit the target":
May 25th 2020 - Skindiver WT Mecaquartz
June 25th 2020 - Skindiver WT Automatic
July 25th 2020 - Skindiver WT Professional

Yes, me too. They all looked pretty good to me. In the end, I picked the one with the blue bezel.

I selected the one that looks closest to how they were back when.

I got in on this pro model a few months back. Unfortunately it’s not shipping until at least late July.
And it will be going on an expansion bracelet like this as soon as it arrives...

New update, here's a snippet:
Wolbrook Watches wrote:As stated in the previous update, we planned the shipping of the watches from France as follow:
FR : Durant la campagne, nous avions prévu les envois de France comme ceci :
1. May 25th 2020 - Skindiver WT Mecaquartz
2. June 25th 2020 - Skindiver WT Automatic
3. July 25th 2020 - Skindiver WT Professional
With France getting slowly out of the confinement period and a slower / more complicated logistic than usual, we had to re-organize and consolidate the assembly schedule and take into account the delays of the leather raw parts, “beads of rice” bracelets and rubber straps, we re-organized it as below:
FR : Avec la France qui sort doucement du confinement et une logistique un peu plus lente et complexe qu’en temps normal, nous avons réorganisé, consolidé le planning d’assemblage et pris en considération les retards des peaux (cuir), des bracelets « grains de riz » et caoutchouc, comme ci-dessous :
1. June 20th 2020 - Skindiver WT Mecaquartz & Skindiver WT Automatic (both without beads of rice bracelet or rubber strap)
2. July 10th 2020 - Skindiver WT Mecaquartz & Skindiver WT Automatic (both with beads of rice bracelet or rubber strap)
3. July 25th 2020 - Skindiver WT Professional
As you can see, the Skindiver WT Mecaquartz are pushed back while the Skindiver WT Automatic are a little bit back on track (for these without “beads of rice” bracelets and rubber straps. We also expect the Skindiver WT Professional to be back closer to the original planning.

Re: SUCCESSFUL : Kickstarter: Wolbrook/Douglas - Skindiver "Worldtimer" reissue
^ Thanks [mention]ManOnTime[/mention]! I checked with Wolbrook that the BoR is expected to be ready in July and since my order includes that, my watch won't be shipped out until the BoR is ready.
