I think this was hotly debated amongst the plank owners at the beginning of this thread.

ahh gotcha. I never got around to check the earlier posts, but at least now I know it was discussed at some point.

I had some back and forth with them about a month ago and were shooting for an end of year delivery for the first production run.

Just made final payment for 2 Plank Orders. I can only hope these show up in time, as we are running out of time ......

My pre-order is well out of the plank phase. What options were extended to you?

Choices are slightly more liberal than described on the Project pages.
Supply of the extra's is limited" and are available on a first come first serve basis (that's the order in which these are ordered, not delivered):

• date or no-date
• 3 date-wheel options:
  white & black numbers (std)
  black & white numbers (limited)
  black & red numbers (limited)
• choice of bracelet or one of two different straps
• upgraded springbar tool for all Plank Owners

Thanks for the info! I'm particularly looking forward to the black and red dial.

Not dial .... date-wheel.

Very limited stock - Mr. Yao didn't indicate how many of these are available, but my impression is that if all Plank-owners opting for the date version also opt for the black-red combo, he'll already need to disappoint some / many. Hence the claim first, serve first policy.

Again, my interpretation - this is not an official MKII announcement or statement. And I am not a mind-reader

Update on the new MKII site from 2.10.18

Project 300 Update | 2.10.18

This is way overdue mostly because I had to find time to figure out the new site. (I was told not to touch anything by the designer so I had to find time to be "taught" to use to the new system.) So here is a quick update as I have to write two more of these this morning:

• Dials: We have completed the QC of the date and non-date dials and we have enough parts on hand for all of the Plankowners and the Pre-order customers
• Hands: The first batch of hands have returned from the "lumers". The acceptance rate is lower than we hoped but much better than the last batch. So we have enough hands to begin assembly but will probably have to go through 5-6 more batches to get enough hands for all the Plankowners and Pre-order customers. At the moment we are prepping the next batch of "raw" hands to be sent out for lume application.
• Case parts: We are currently QC'ing the case parts and expect to begin test assemblies in the next 6-8 weeks.
• Pre-order Customers: We will be sending out an email to the pre-order customers this month to request their final selections so that we can pay vendors and start organizing and prioritizing the parts QC.

I will apologize in advance if this update raises obvious questions that I haven't addressed here. I usually take more care when writing these but there's a lot of QC work to do and talking about it won't get it done. In addition QC work requires a lot of concentration so I am diving quite deep into these parts and rarely coming up for air during our 7 day schedule.

^Thank you for share this. I rarely bother visiting the website to look for updates because I just sit there and drool over what isn't available.

Haha I know the feeling. You're welcome.
