Big shout out yet again to 'Gary From Birmingham'. The man has taste. I'm glad he didn;t pay $6000 for one of these though! I kinda get 'it' even after a short period of time with his 17.09. It looks like a Ming, has quirks I have not seen anywhere else, and clearly, rock solid residuals. Will I be setting an alarm for their next release? Doubt it, but I'll happily bnorrow another from Gary in the future. Cheers, Jody

Thanks again for reviewing my watch Jody and interesting to see the comments already 😀 There's something about this (and other Ming designs) that really just appeal to me, I think it's the fact it's unique and has an almost futuristic "Tron" kinda vibe. From first wanting one to then actually buying it was over 15 months so I certainly wasn't buying it based on hype or scarcity. Overpriced? Probably, but I'm still very happy to own it.

Pass. Clearly with Ming you either get it or you don’t. I don’t. Each to their own but I think with a 3k (market price) budget you’ve got be able to find something a little more meaningful as a wristwatch surely? The case and lug design means any level of wear will surely mean a minimalist watch that should look clean instead has scratches and dinks - as is already the case. The Ali express crowd should be able to replicate this as a homage for less than $200. Nice review Mr M.

Once I see a watch being sold above retail by the scalpers i always move on, I think the business model is to restrict supply on purpose a' la rolex and create a sense of " please ming sell me one of your watches " . Paying 50% up front is also a definite no no for me , for that kind of cash the list of fine, obtainable timepieces is huge.

Not that I don't like the watch but I am NOT in the habit of giving out interest-free business loans. Ming has been asking customers to put down a 50% non-refundable deposit more than a year in advance of delivery of the watch. And the majority of them are far more expensive than this. If Ming is so mismanaged that they need some or all of the money so far in advance to make their watches, forget it. I don't trust the company and I _really_ don't like the business model.

I love what Ming is doing. $2-3k is a LOT to pay and, after the initial hype, the 17.09's seem to be dropping in value. The problem for me is opportunity cost. For not much more, you can dive into really interesting vintage and neo-vintage stuff like Heuer Autavias, Sinn Navitimers and such. Not to mention a whole raft of Tudors, Nomos,' Cartiers and so forth. So this might be a catch and release; enjoy for awhile just to experience a Ming. Maybe that's the route I'll take.

I have one of these! I bought it direct from Ming as a milestone birthday gift to myself. I was captivated when I first saw the pictures online and decided to go for it. It’s easily the most expensive watch in my collection (by a pretty wide margin) but I just love it! I love that two-piece dial, and the sense of depth the indices on the underside of the sapphire give it. I love the way it wears and how it kind of feels classic (the size, the guilloche pattern on the dial) mixed with modern (it does have a bit of a Tron vibe when it glows). And I love, as you say Jody, how it won’t be mistaken for anything else…and if you’re a total watch nerd (and maybe only then) will you recognize it! I get it’s not for everyone (which might even be part of the appeal), but for me, it’s one of the prides of my collection. Thanks for yet another great video!

Some interesting design points, marking the inside of the crystal, large easily visible hands, minimalist styling, but also some huge design fails; the crown is not screw down, the case is too thick, only 100m water resistance and rather poor case finishing in that it is easily scratched. Worth perhaps £200 on a good day with the wind behind it.

In my case, this watch design grew on me throughout the video. However, I don´t think I would ever want one at even a fifth of that price. I have a watch without a seconds hand--an Alpina quartz GMT. For quite a while, the lack of a second hand bothered me but I could not quite figure why. Now, I think it is because I use the movement of a second hand to almost subconsciously reassure myself that the watch is running. Doesn´t bother me anymore.

You nailed your observation that it grows on you. I was initially underwhelmed upon buying as my "special" watch. But after putting on a nato and using as an everyday its brilliant. The longer you spend with it the more you appreciate the design. Theres been very little in horology aesthetic innovativation that honours the past while looking forward: you either get another heritage design or homage or something too brash. In time I suspect this will be viewed as a design milestone.

After owning many dozens of mechanical watches I don’t find it so special anymore, especially knowing it’s something achievable with movements worth next to nothing. I almost find refreshing, every now and again, the sense of precision coming from the ticking seconds hand on quartz watches, go figure. If we talk spring drive or very high beat movements it’s another story, that’s actually special.

Looks nice, and the Ming brand is pretty good nowadays; however... objectively on this watch I do not see anything that *couldn't* be replicated equally by e.g. san martin or suchlike. The caseback is dead simple; the case is pretty simply finished; the bezel is pure polished; the dial is just stamped and painted brass.. Replicating this with a basic sellita sw200 for well under 500 is completely doable. And honestly if I was in charge of Seagull or san martin, I'd absolutely push out a model of two with this case and approximate dial.

Strangely, the rest of the dimensions match as well (38mm x 44mm LtL). The deeper into the hobby I go, the less I want a Ming. The style is definitely there, and the quality is great, from what I've heard/read. Honestly, the real reason I don't think I want one anymore is that I just don't think the style fits mine. It would just be a safe queen in my collection and that's not why I buy watches.

Hey Jody! I'm a fan of what Ming is doing, and I was just about ready to purchase one when the whole GMT debacle happened. I think the hype went to Ming and their reaction to a fault of their own, was just distasteful. They could've handled their mess better but only made it worse by banning customers who complained on Social Media about the issues with the watch. In my opinion, atleast, that's when I decided Ming wasn't for me. Instead, I did end up buying a Grand Seiko Mt. Iwate GMT, and love it very much.

I'd agree with the lugs comment, but i could live with those, but for me it's too small, and I definitely couldn't live with a 2 hander. I also totally agree about doing non LE models. The watch industry seems to exist on LE models.

Well it is a watch. But this would have to be an acquired taste for me. I think it might be the starkness of the white lines, or maybe the inelegance(is that a word) of that starkness. It might be the kind of watch that strikes you differently in the flesh as well, but I'm not betting on that either. Outside of the script, love the dial design... but not the hands. Cuddos Ming for doing things different, but I'd slap a quartz GS or aqua terra on there quicker.

I love the design overall, like you though, the turned out lugs are a bit of a turn off. The finish on the dial a lovely. Green would have been perfect. Love the case size. I have a 7" wrist and 36-38mm are just so comfortable. 2k seems a bit rich for what it is. I'd be interested at half the retail but for the money there's a lot of choice.

Nice looking watch but 38mm is just way too small for my 7 1/2" wrist. 40mm is about as small as I can go and they even look small TBF

I never liked 2 hand watches, it made me felt like I am wearing women's watches. Secondly, an automatic 2 hander is stupid, idk if that thing is alive or not, do I need to handwind it yet or not.

Hour hand adjustments aren't all that uncommon (GMT movements, in particular have the feature), so I'm not sure why they'd do it the hard way here.

Especially as the base movement is a GMT movement. ;) Clever engineering for a problem that I don’t believe needed to exist.
