Return of the Ming!
Well today I received my 17.09 back from Schwarz Etienne. Now I’m sure everyone is aware of the issue involved and the bad press Ming received over this and i get that this issue should have been picked up somewhere along the line way before the watches were sent out to the customers. Now I’m talking from a personal point of view at the end of the day the issue was resolved and in a very professional way as from day one to the day the watch was returned I was always kept up to date with the repair progress. Maybe I’m mellowing with age but I’m of the thinking as they say worse things happen at sea. And I love this watch my first Ming 😊
Very nice complimentary strap of my choice.

Congratulations on the return of your Ming in perfect working order.
For a first Ming, this is certainly a special one which looks great on your wrist 👌🏼. Wear it in the best of health…and please share another wrist shot if/when you try on the black strap, as I’m curious as to how the combination looks.
Thank you
I’ll certainly share a wrist shot with the new strap and btw I also purchased the Ming bracelet earlier in the year (now sold out) and did wear it on the watch before it was sent back for repair and that looks great in my opinion.
Ah, you’re right, that bracelet is a great choice for this piece…
that must also look great. 👍🏼
🤩 That is badass!
I generally like when Ming uses a starkly contrasting strap color to their dials, but I also selectively like the monochromatic look, especially in greys. And I had bought a Ming grey band to try on my black honeycomb (like yours), but it didn’t strike me...
Congrats
It’s a great watch. Pleased you are happy. (Ignore the attention-seeking online prima Dona’s - they should get out more)
Congrats!
Congratulations on getting it back! I spent a day with the honey 17.09 and it is a fantastic watch. I can't wait to get my own 17.09 from the standard production series.
Very glad for you to get your nice watch back...
...and we appreciate you updating us about the right way the issue was handled by the brand (even if as you say it should not have happened). Accidents sometimes happen but key is that the brand does the job for handling the issue properly and it is good ...
Thank you brother
I just say it as I see it and for sure it’s the way that they handled the issue that speaks volumes for me.
Good to hear that and congrats on the return.
