    I don’t think the crosshairs help legibility. The GMT hand could do with being a little more distinctive. No seconds hand?

    I guess this is not a watch that everyone like because of the look. As you say they all looks the same with small changes. There is models I don't like also from Ming.

    Yes, there is no secondhand.

    I also don’t like how they expect you to pay 50% upfront prefund on their watches

    Same. Still looks like it was designed by Habitat for the middle aisle of Aldi.

    I got this from a "seller" so I not have to wait for it. Nowdays they goes for list or less so it is not like it was before. So it is better to wait until they deliver it.

    I agree the GMT hand should have a pointer or something to make it a bit more distinct and easy to read. Just one thing, is the text raised in some way on the dial (The Ming logo and 24 hour time)? It seems from your photos its somehow printed on a secondary internal glass or something.

    Yes the text is raised it is a composite, three-pert dial.

    No problems you have the right to think what you want. We all like different things.

    Great photos Jocke. I love the lume, the hands and the crown. Nice slim case too. Enjoy!

    Not my cup of tea I'm afraid, the design looks like a microbrand....I know it's definitely not, great photos though.

    A darling brand that was elevated by the watch madness and mayhem of 2018-2023. Over-subscribed nonsense.

    Let’s see how it fairs in the real world of today, and in a more challenging future.

    Personally it has always been the Emporers New Clothes to me.

    Now that they don't appear to be of "investment" quality I'm surprised they are still popular...ish...

    Haven't liked any yet and this one doesn't look much different from all the rest.

    I quite like it but there are a couple of things that are irritating, the 24 hour hand being one of them. A bit too subtle.

    Jockes photos as usual are phenomenal.

    Yep, the watch is not for me, but the pics are on another level.

    Yet again outstanding photographs.

    Even though not my kind of watch I am glad it exists.

    It has its own charm and grace,the lume photos makes it look even better.
