WatchProSite Moderator Patrick_y reviews the MING 27.01 and reflects on a new type of Independent watchmaker with its direct to consumer business model. Sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due. MING Watch is a micro-brand that manufactures a...  

Can not agree more with your take on its value proposition. Very rarely does one (non-inhouse) brand garner such interest and accomplishment in such a short time. It's a real testament to their design and execution. I especially like their anti-flipping p... 

I started promptly at 7PM Pacific Time and I added it into my cart and by the time I filled out the check-out form, it was already sold out! Yes, having to wait until November/December is a huge exercise in patience!

As I was also able to secure the 27.01 today, so stoked! Having quick internet has finally paid off outside of gaming lol!

You will certainly like the 27.01! It's a great watch. Very cool and modern. I don't know which one you'll like more between the 27.02 and 27.01, but I'm certain you'll like the 27.01. One member who has read that I didn't get my 27.02 sent me a message s... 

I think Ming should on the contrary give you a special treatment to get the 27.02 for giving them a well deserved review lol. I will have to reserve judgement of both until I have them both in front of me. But for now I'm pretty sure I'll like them both e... 

You’re not rubbing it in at all! In fact I’m so glad that you got the 27.02! I bet you’ll like the 27.02 as it has the cool sapphire dial with the fume smoky appearance of the 19 series I like so much. We are absolutely not allowed to take any special fav... 

Hope it arrives soon, the sooner it comes, the sooner we can enjoy it

two 'catches' would be (1) you'll have to wait longer, until december when the .02s are delivered, and (2) have to top up the 1k price difference. i'll send you a pm with more details. if you're game, we'll have to coordinate with ming.

Many thanks for such an exhaustive review Patrick 👍

The reviews are getting so long since the review needs to cover every aspect that's important to different people. So you get one long and exhaustive review! Thank you for reading!

...I HAD a service experience with Ming Watches, as there was an issue with my brand new 17.06. Therefore I can give the best testimony to them - everything was done to my complete satisfaction. Thumbs up for that!

That's a very good data point! Thank you for sharing! That's a big relief! Hopefully with more pieces in the field, they can continue this tradition! How do you like your 17.06?

Regards, Ron ...  

I like reliable and dependable watches! I'm really looking forward to my first MING!
