Pretty much when the design is finalized and I get off my lazy ass to make it happen.

In theory, once I send in the design, and the number of people ordering, it will take a few days to confirm that the artwork will work and we will get design approval. From that point it should be around 2-3 weeks until the watches are done and shipped.

Also, I have found that the more watches we order, the bigger the discount. Meaning if we can hit 10, we should get a decent discount.

I'm itching to get it done, and I'm willing to take the reins if need be.

I believe we just have to wait out Chinese New year. But I think I can submit everything first, just expect some delays from that. I'll talk to Glenn at SM and see where we stand.

Sent an email to Glenn, so I am actually moving forward with this. Thanks for the nudge Matt, I'll admit I've been slacking.

Well, since Glenn is the F#$&!ng man, he has already responded to my email. I noticed they were sold out ou the 62MAS so asked him about when they were getting more and if he would be willing to do a run for us.

His response:

And for the 62MAS with custom logo, we are making a new version of it, we will call it V4, it will have blue and black dial, 41mm case, and 13.85mm thickness(current V3 is 40mm and 14.05mm), along with some more minor changes, and it will be ready in about 2 months, please see below pictures first:

Slightly larger in diameter, but also slightly thinner. Seems like a good compromise, especially if there is a bracelet option.

He also said I can send over the artwork so he can get a head start for us. Start saving your pennies legion. The 62MoT is coming.

Heard back from Glenn after sending him the Vector.

"Thanks for offering the logo file, sorry that we don't have orange paint, but I think we can make it from red paint with some changes, also I'm not sure whether the "second hand" on the logo is too small for printing, please allow me to check it with our team tomorrow here when we are back on work.

 

And since buying orange paint(if that's possible) will cost quite much than standard printing, may I know what the quantity will be for this custom order? Thanks!"

So it looks like we may have to go red on the text, which I believe was our second choice.
