Loving the TII Typhoon, modeled after the iconic 6105-8110. Also shipped with 3 different strap options other than the bracelet. Had to make some 2 tone hands out of gen 1 mil ladder hands with and white enamel, inspired by the old UDT hands that are NLA. There are only a few left, some are on sale at a killer price, so hit up https://www.dagazwatch.com/.

I suppose it's as good a time as we're likely to get to have the planned Spring Break sale, but due to the world-wide medical crisis, we'll name it accordingly, since most people are staying home. There are complete, ready to ship watches on hand, all are tested and ready to go, in various styles, at ahw24.com/ready (redirects to full domain). No issues with shipping or other delays as of yet in my corner of Southern California, and I'll sanitize the watches and boxes before shipping. Coupon will be valid until sometime in April for any watch in the "Ready To Ship" category, but once they are gone, I won't likely configure another in the same way any time soon. If you try to add a watch to your cart and are unable, chances are someone snatched it already, and I haven't had a chance to remove it from the "Ready" category.

As for the situation here- the main issue is people are mindlessly hoarding. We haven't needed for anything important, and had decent stores before the panic set it, but it is surprising that things like ice cream are being wiped out. Water... as if the water will be shut off due to illness? I almost caved to the instinct to grab a pack of paper towels at the store, even though we still have a full pack at home, but I didn't, figuring someone else probably needs it more than we do. It is slightly frustrating when we are trying to do normal grocery shopping (and for a 6 person household, full of teenagers and pre-teens, things go quickly), and finding bare shelves. I do believe this is a wake-up call for many, for others, a proof of concept for their food storage and preparation strategy. I hope everyone is keeping their heads, and being considerate to their fellow people, panic and hysteria only makes difficult situations worse.

Black and Blasted Samurai / SamiKX. The options for custom builds seem nearly infinite these days, having the case options really helps. I have always like the Samurai case shape, never cared for the lack of workable components, but that's no longer an issue. Sub bezel and Artifice Bolt Face crown in Elite Blackout, case in Stage 3S media blast, Dagaz Superdome double dome with smoke AR, Dagaz SOXA dial, gen 1 Mil Ladder hands w/ C3 lume. 1 available.⁠

FYI- All watch shipments will now have to be signature required. I have tried to avoid the hassle for clients in having to try to get to the post office before they close with the missed shipment tag, but someone has apparently taken advantage of that and claimed to their bank they know nothing about the "fraudulent" charge for the watch that was delivered to their workplace. Despite the email to me asking to ship to their workplace, and tracking showing it was delivered, I assume the funds that were pulled from my account will not be returned. I love giving people watches, however I prefer to do it voluntarily. The really obnoxious thing? I had saved that SBDX017 dial and hand set for YEARS. I have half a mind to stake out the recipient and obtain photographic proof of said watch they don't know anything about. Anyway. Perhaps they needed the money for TP.
The "shelter in place" thing hasn't really changed much for me in terms of work. Today I'm painting Josh's & Matt's dials... again... finishing up a small batch of with a missing hour marker (can you spot the one that doesn't match above), some hands, and a few bezels and crowns.
In terms of surviving the current situation, kids are home, and I do grab some spare home supplies just in case when they are available. It is really hurting shipping times and availability for parts and supplies, but there isn't really anything anyone can do about that.

Realized I haven't posted in-the-works pictures for a while. Matt's in Stage 4 with cerakoted, hand lumed indices, Chad's Stage 4 with custom laser cut chapter ring, Ranjit's Mk-V diver awaiting hands, a black and blasted (3S) Samurai that has yet to be configured, but will be available at some point, and some conversion movement spacers.
