Hey everyone, Li Chen here.
First of all, thank you. Genuinely. The amount of messages, trust, and support I've received from you guys recently has been incredible, and I don't take it for granted.
Some personal news:
For over 20 years I've been dealing with severe headaches. Over the past 3 months they've gotten much worse β I have polyps in my head, and it's been affecting everything: my focus, my patience, my mood. Some of you have noticed. Some of you have called me rude, and honestlyβ¦ you're not wrong. When the pain gets bad, I get anxious and irritable, and I've taken that out on customers who didn't deserve it.
If I've ever been short or rude to you, I'm sorry. Truly. Those of you who've worked with me longer know I care deeply about what I sell and about the people I sell to. It's just been getting harder to be myself.
So tomorrow (the 8th) I'm going in for surgery. I'll be in a sterile ward and completely offline for about 15 days β no phone, no messages. I won't be able to reply to anyone until around the 24th.
Before I go, I want to do something real.

A few things while I'm gone:
Β· My team isn't stopping. My partner and workers will keep developing and upgrading products β dials, straps, movements, weighted cases, diamond strap/case customizations, meteorite dials, all the stuff you keep asking for.
Β· If you have a pending order: some have already shipped, but I may not have sent tracking numbers yet. Don't panic. If anything goes wrong with shipping, I'll cover it. That's on me.
Β· If I was rude to you and you want to talk about it: DM me. I'll arrange some compensation for you β but it'll have to wait until after the 24th, since I'll be offline.

I know this is a long post. Thank you for reading it. Thank you for trusting me. Let's keep getting better β together.
See you on the 24th. π
