The addition of the time limited batch is very nice
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 you're ready (unless you're a first time Rolex buyer... lol)
Incoming... eventually
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 ...
It looks great.
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 ...
Every watch in my collection was purchased sight unseen
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...
I never checked Ming watches however first time few days ago I felt attracted to this one ..
Too lazy to make the effort and offcourse no hard work no play!

I was being a little dramatic ;)
But I definitely had some trouble falling asleep the night before, and my heart was pumping through the whole transaction 🤣
Tomorrow the experience should be much more relaxed
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....
Interesting you went for this one still
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.
Just in case you haven't seen this BigAppleBill...
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!
I put one in the cart, entered a queue and then it says everything sold...
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-)
I got lucky...
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,...
Congratulations are in order
This is a very nice watch where there is a lot of detail under that initial view of simplicity.
Congrats! I managed to get one in the 10 minute window today
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***
Don't worry... same for me!
Third try - now I got it, finally! Hopefully I will not forget about it in the meantime! 🤣🤣😉
well, it's unlikely there are 4k-plus orders for the 17.09
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...
I have a six month wait myself...
Not as bad, but still not the instant gratification I am used to in the world of amazon prime, etc
A great move from ming to do a time limited batch
Hopefully in the future the wait times will be shorter, but it's better than not being able to order one at all.
Very cool iteration for this last one of the 17 series
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...
Mr. Thein's photos will no doubt be far better than mine
But I will definitely be taking some nonetheless!
Can't wait for your photos and review!
Congrats! They are indeed hard to get! SOLD OUT IN ONE MINUTE!
I didn't make that connection initially
But now that you mention it, I totally see it!
blue Ming 17.09
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...
Glad to hear you were able to make an order
and I suspect you are right about the order of your new arrivals 😂
