Independents

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 ...  

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 ... 

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...

Too lazy to make the effort and offcourse no hard work no play!

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...

But I definitely had some trouble falling asleep the night before, and my heart was pumping through the whole transaction 🤣

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.... 

😁 But I was already a existing customer...

I hope to see some photos of both 'round these parts

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.

Here's a review of the MING 27.01 I did. www.watchprosite.com 1/ I'm waiting for my 27.01 and 27.02. And I'm really excited about that one too!

all sold in less than 30 seconds I reckon, so its either bots or something not quite right. I will try again tonight but I am lowering my expectations. At the end of the day it just another watch...8-)

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,... 

Lucky you.

This is a very nice watch where there is a lot of detail under that initial view of simplicity.

It is definitely one of my favorites of their designs to date

I guess at least a 12 month wait for me. I was in yesterday night but when I was trying to pay it said it was sold out. I might be waiting forever, my order number is like 4***

Third try - now I got it, finally! Hopefully I will not forget about it in the meantime! 🤣🤣😉

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.

Not as bad, but still not the instant gratification I am used to in the world of amazon prime, etc

Hopefully in the future the wait times will be shorter, but it's better than not being able to order one at all.

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... 

But I will definitely be taking some nonetheless!

Congrats! They are indeed hard to get! SOLD OUT IN ONE MINUTE!

Counting down till october...

But now that you mention it, I totally see it!

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... 

and I suspect you are right about the order of your new arrivals 😂
