Hi,
I really like this and the 19.01. Whilst it is not cheap, the price is not unreasonable either. I have been tempted to pull the trigger on the 19.01 many times. However, my main concern with small independents is maintenance down the road. I know both the 19.01 and 19.02 uses Schwarz Etienne movements, which helps alleviate that issue somewhat. But these movements are unique to Ming and Schwarz Etienne isn’t exactly a large company either.
What are people’s’ thoughts on this matter? With many in the community collecting independents, what are their plans to mitigate future issues with maintenance?
Cheers,
Chi Kai
