    I liked MK II better when Bill was selling Seiko mod parts and selling MMTs.

    Compliments on the patience part, will be some day when if finally arrives!

    not a great business plan IMHO - even the fanboys must be running out of patience…?

    That's crazy! Three years since the plank owners paid money, and not at the sampling stage yet.

    May I ask a stupid question?
    Why don't you get your money back?

    Not me, I'm not one of Bills plank owners but this must be a record even for him after previous projects…?
    Great product, rubbish management…?

    Please take note that given the complexity of this watch delays are a strong possibility.)


    Could be the ideal watch to hand down to a child on a significant birthday, they might have to hang on till their 21st....or maybe 30th though.

    I wonder how much of that money's been spent on the intended project?

    Delivery: Estimate is pending revision upon completion of design phase (Disclaimer: This time frame is only an estimate and will be updated as required. Please take note that given the complexity of this watch delays are a strong possibility.)
    LOL, Plank pretty much sums it up.

    As has been observed by many, not a great way to do business but at least everyone believes that Bill Yao will eventually deliver what is expected.

    Those who have prepaid for watches from Olivier seem to be rather more worried, even though many watches have been delivered.

    Valid point. Probably 25% or less.

    I love MKII watches but those graphics are ridiculous! It really should be quite simple - design it, build it, sell it....
