Just got the email as well. Is this a more ‘mass produced’ version of the 27.01? Without a display case back of course
No thanks
Cheap and nasty looking blue. Crap strap on the burgundy.
No picture of the back unfortunately.
Might be tempted by the blue one.
I think they are quite different (the 27.01 thinner with no lume). I managed to get a 27.01 and am awaiting delivery in late May.Quote:

Got a 27.01 coming as well but I think I’ll pass on this one.

There's certainly a strong brand look.Quote:

I quite like the blue version, the lume looks to be a big upgrade from the earlier 17.06s

To many releases in a short space of time , I would probably have went for the blue if not waiting on the 27.02
Ming has so far deployed the the 'limited release' trick to build brand awareness and boost desirability. However, with the rapid release of new models all with a pretty distinct but similar look, I wonder if this will work for very much longer. If you like the Ming look, but 'miss out' on a particular model, you now know there will be another similar one along very soon.
I prefer the 2702 over these. I always say, the pricier Mings are worth it, so much higher quality and better finished; but the 17 series offer the 'Ming look' and quality is still very good for the price.Quote:

The previous owners' batch sold out in about 2 minutes (as usual) - Aug delivery, the waiting game starts again:)
General batch release today if anyone’s interested
^Thinking about ordering the blue version.
I managed to grab a blue version yesterday. Best of luck for anyone going for one today.
I'd recommend adding a strap to the cart before the link for the watch goes live, go up to the payment page in their checkout process and then go back to add the watch when live. This way all your shipping details are entered already and its add the watch and straight to the payment page.
^Excellent tip, thank you so much! Just got a blue one myself.
Smart man, sounds like a good tip!Quote:

On a side note that handset actually looks pretty close to something Ming shared with TZ a while back too..

If I had a complaint it’s that I don’t see the point of hacking seconds if there isn’t a seconds hand
Somehow despite having both my address and payment card preloaded in my browser, I was still too slow at two minutes. There must be bots involved here, this is ridiculous.
There’s a time limited release tomorrow. 10 minute window and it seems all orders will be guaranteed but quite a long lead timeQuote:

Assuredly some people are using bots but there are others who got lucky without them (including me). I will preface this by saying I have exceedingly good internet (i pay for gigabit fiber) so my page may have refreshed faster than other people. Thankfully the 10 minute window will allow everyone to buy one.Quote:

Ah ok thanksQuote:

You know, I'm not actually sure how much bot activity was going on - I think today will prove there is just a crazy amount of demand. Great for the brand, but it really is nuts.Quote:

Different looking watch which is no bad thing in today's day and age. However the best part of 2k GBP for a 2 hander is a little steep and there are other watches that would grace my wrist before this at that price.
But nothing that looks quite like this - that's the magic.Quote:

One reason why in general I'm not a fan of guilloche-esque dials. It can be a bit much'Quote:

Autofilled personal details - accidentally used my corporate email, which means im stuck with the firm for at least another 1 year! :popcorn2::popcorn2:
I managed to get a blue one as well. Was actually remarkably smooth today compared with yesterday (where I basically had no chance!) - was all completed within a minute. My number is in the 3600s so it looks like they’ve sold a fair few :)Quote:

That’s good to know. Thanks. Hopefully I will get it in March next year then.Quote:
