It looks great.

I like the aesthetic a lot. I thought about it this week but ultimately didn’t go for one (although there’s always tomorrow). Only reasoning was “do I really need another watch” !!! (A common question for us folks here).
I will say the first watch looked much better on paper than in the metal, but having handled several of the subsequent watches Ming have increased or improved every aspect of these watches since then.
Congratulations. Hopefully October will come fast !

Incoming... eventually

I am happy to report that I managed to purchase a blue Ming 17.09 this morning! I had read many a post about how quickly these watches get bought up, so I spent the past few days preparing for zero hour. The most critical step was setting up autofill for ...

Every watch in my collection was purchased sight unseen
By: mhz vph : April 15th, 2021-13:07
It's the unfortunate reality of buying stuff on the internet. Thankfully, I can always sell if need be, probably for about as much as I paid for it. Hopefully I won't feel the need to do that. It definitely looks great in the photos, and is spec'd excelle...
The addition of the time limited batch is very nice
By: mhz vph : April 15th, 2021-13:19
For those who don't want to go through the race for the prebuilt ones. A year is a very long time to wait though... This is one of the downsides of independent brands. It is nice to be able to take your time with a purchase, and stroll into an AD whenever...
I was being a little dramatic ;)
By: mhz vph : April 15th, 2021-15:04
But I definitely had some trouble falling asleep the night before, and my heart was pumping through the whole transaction 🤣
Tomorrow the experience should be much more relaxed

I would have loved it if there was a time limited batch on some previous models. The wait is a pain but it's good to have this option given how tough it is to land a spot in the smaller batches. I went very fast, but I still put it down to some good luck....
I got one (red)

😁 But I was already a existing customer...
Love the 27.02!
By: mhz vph : April 15th, 2021-18:11
I hope to see some photos of both 'round these parts
Interesting you went for this one still
By: dnlmpg : April 15th, 2021-19:09
despite already having 27.02 on back order. I also have a 27.02 coming at the end of the year, and it's actually due to already having that coming I decided this one is too similar and didn't go for it.
I got lucky...
By: mhz vph : April 15th, 2021-21:56
Like I said, I was moving very quickly, but luck had to be on my side. I also got put in a queue but after a few seconds it lead me to the billing page. Either way, this final batch you should definitely get an order in. The window is open for 10 minutes,...
Congratulations are in order
By: rnaden : April 16th, 2021-02:22
This is a very nice watch where there is a lot of detail under that initial view of simplicity.
Thanks very much!
By: mhz vph : April 16th, 2021-07:54
It is definitely one of my favorites of their designs to date
Don't worry... same for me!
By: ronhan : April 16th, 2021-06:47
Third try - now I got it, finally! Hopefully I will not forget about it in the meantime! 🤣🤣😉
well, it's unlikely there are 4k-plus orders for the 17.09
By: jiggerly-cool : April 16th, 2021-06:52
when you say 4***, do you mean your order number was "2017-4***"? if yes, that's all the orders since ming opened shop. thus, if you got an 18.01 diver yours would have been mid-2*** and if you got an early 17.09 you'd have seen maybe 33**. having said th...

Congrats, I Tried yesterday but no luck. Today i was able to get my order in.
I have a six month wait myself...

Not as bad, but still not the instant gratification I am used to in the world of amazon prime, etc
Very cool iteration for this last one of the 17 series
By: Mike H : April 16th, 2021-07:46
Not only very nice looking but also interesting feature with the new independently adjustable hour hand, courtesy of the caliber 330.M1 developed with the Manufacture Schwarz Etienne. Looking forward to seeing your pics of the actual watch. The press phot...
Thanks!

blue Ming 17.09

Somehow I got an order in . My credit card company declined the transaction at first since it was an overseas purchase . I was worried that by the time I reached the CC company to authorize the deposit , it would no longer be available . Whew ! Now I ( as...
