Thanks for the post
I couldn’t resist the brushed/guilloche finish of the blue dial so I ordered one. This would be my second on top of the Monolith. I too think they are pretty good value, and the limited production of the watch makes it even more appealing to own. A fun watch to wear for sure
MING 17.09 Announcement
As many of you already know, I'm a huge fan of the MING 27 series, their "thin" watch that has a "TRON" (the movie) look that is great for modern environments. In Silicon Valley, the luxury vibe is all about modernity and elegance mixed together. Think el...
I love them both! Unfortunately buyers are only allowed to buy one...
so it will be a dilemma for me, if I'm lucky enough to score one! Have to be quick...
allowed to buy one...
...of each variant. so you can buy both! and if you're not in a hurry/willing to wait ~1 year, you don't even need fast fingers like in past ming sales. simply place the order during the 10-minute window (i'm shooting for both, earlier).
I like the way the get allocation to new customers on top of keeping loyal customers...big brands have to learn a lot from them !
Blue is my fav...great value at this price point. Best, mahesh.,
it ain't over yet, there's more in batch 2
the downside is one will have to wait two months longer than if one was successful today as aggretsuko says, "tomorrow is a new day!"
i totally get what you mean about being unable to wait
tried grabbing a 17.09 burgundy just now. sad to say, i wasn't quick enough. while there's a 10-min ordering window tomorrow, i won't buy there because i can't bear to wait a year. also, i figure at this point one's better off putting the budget toward wh...
Same here...
I was able to get a 17.09 blue on the second offering. But not the burgundy. I too don't see myself waiting for 11 months to get a watch neither!
Congrats! Seems like you'll get yours fairly soon since you're in the first batch!
I'm in the second batch, so we're relying on YOU to show us photos and your impressions of the watch!
CONGRATS if You ordered.......I never get tired of wearing these, Copper on Bespoke strap is fantastic
hopefully , the MING team will stay in business as long as the BIG names ...
They will! They've got a cool style and a unique design DNA that's unlike anything else in the industry.
No other brand has that TRON look!
got a delivery expectation e-mail from ming
says "we expect to deliver your watch in October 2021" <-- big relief it's not 2022!
Yay! Which batch did you place your order in?
I remember you menionted you weren't going to do the 10 minute batch, since it would require you to wait until 2022.
the existing owners batch
so it really should never have reached 2022 (hah!) seems i'm at the tail end of the first batch, which i suppose has an aug-to-oct window. odds are second batch is oct to feb/mar, then 10-min window is march and after

Looks decent.
Pricing also seems very reasonable. I was wondering if Schwarz Etienne was involved in the movement this time round and then saw it was a Sellita machine.
Good observation! Yes, this one is a Sellita, but it is modified by Schwarz Etienne.
Quoting MING's press release, "We have worked with our partners Manufacture Schwarz-Etienne to develop an independenthour hand adjustment mechanism, based on the Sellita SW330-2. This complication and modification is exclusive to MING. The intermediate cr...
