I know that everyone is anxiously waiting for news on the Moray production and shipping. Since 3T is a forum that you are able to follow the watch from concept through to shipping, you also get to experience the delays. I think most companies would just not let the public know about the design, production, and details that have to be resolved, so this delay is just part of the process that you get to experience. Production has started this week, but after testing the samples, Ralf and I decided that the threaded lug bar with the matching threads inside the case lug would be problematic over the long term life of the watch. We decided to change the lug bar to be like the Sea Devil with the screws on the outside and no threads on the case. I do not have a picture yet of how this looks, but it is easy to imagine. This is a better system for the bracelet and will keep people from stripping the threads on the inside of the case and ruining their watch. as mentioned at the top, production is starting this week, but there is not a specific date that I can say as to when your watch will ship, Ralf and I are still talking about the shipping details. Thank you for your patience, in the future we will probably add time for delays so we are not rushed because the customers have an expectation that we cannot meet. Because we did not rush this production to be at the end of June, you will have a better watch in the end.

Well, as much as i want the watch ASAP, i appreciate that you guys chose quality over shipping date. Take your time guys, we'll take it when it's ready. It will just give some of my other watches more wrist time since i think the Moray will have a lot once I have it!!!;) |

Sorry to see about the production issues but I'm encouraged to see that you folks are not trying to take the easy/short solution way out and rush this watch to your anxious customers. Thanks for the update and thanks for making the right/tough decison. |

This watch will be well worth the wait and if it is that much easier to change straps/bracelets going forward then this change is worth waiting for. |

Just to echo the sentiments of everyone else really. Glad you are putting quality first. A few weeks spent at a critical time like this will save you a LOT of time (and money!) later on down the line. Also thank you for the update. It's appreciated :) |

Thanks for the update Steve. There is no doubt that Ralf will not ship anything less than perfect. The attention to detail is unparellel in this business and one reason Benarus has such a huge following. It will most definitely be worth the wait. In the meantime, you could share more pics with us which will make the wait better. |

Thanks Steve and Ralf for the update on the Moray. hand6.gif Benarus continues to amaze me with the attention to detail for the dollar (absolutely spectacular!!). You have really hit one out of the park with the Moray (I am finding it hard to resist ordering a second one in the seafoam to sit next to my BRG). I'm really looking forward to strapping this one on the wrist, but can wait until it meets the quality that Benarus requires. Bouncy.gif |

Well, if it is being shipped to him then does that mean that it will also be shipped to Steve later this weekend/begining of next week? So really we wont get them until the end of next week or the following week. Oh well. Still waiting.:(:):(cool10.gif |

I have to agree. Delays are common in production of timepieces. Some of the members may be new to this and we know from past experience how tough this can be. I think it would be a good jesture if Steve or Ralph could help us with some eye candy while we wait ever so patiently for the Moray. If the Barracuda and Sea Devil wasn't enough to convince Ralph that Beanarus would be a fast growing company, then the Moray should be the proof to show him that the masses are taking notice. As long as I still have the means, I will always be a Benarus customer. Last edited on Mon Aug 3rd, 2009 07:05 pm by TopGun |

as posted by Steve a couple days ago in regards to anymore pics of the Moray....reading all the threads in this fora actually does help you guys! :D:D:D "I don't have them yet, but I will send out an email when they ship and I can verify addresses that way also, so I will send the email before they ship. I won't have time to take photos of them until after they all ship. my number 1 priority when they arrive is to turn them and get them to their homes." Steve |
