Very interesting new Ming program where they are registering watches by current owner rather than just at the point of purchase. This will allow them to track what watches were sold to a grey dealer and by whom. Thoughts?
——————————————-
Dear friends,

A couple weeks ago, Praneeth hinted at upcoming changes to improve the ownership experience. We start with the first and perhaps most significant of these today - a revision to the existing customer policy:
All current* MING owners are now eligible for existing customer access and privileges.
If a new owner is registered to a watch, the previous owner will be deregistered.
We do not take this change lightly, and it comes after significant internal debate and taking into account feedback from many of you. We believe that this is the least we can do to express our thanks for all of your support. It will also help us both connect with enthusiasts who might not have had a chance to purchase directly from us - and strengthen our anti-flipping efforts.

If you currently own a MING that was purchased anywhere other than www.ming.watch, you can verify your ownership via this form or the button below.

Finally, we are also having a giveaway in appreciation of our existing customers as part of our 5th Anniversary celebrations! Please see here for more details.

Thank you!

- Team MING

Win win.

New owners have a chance for owner-related communication from Ming and warranty.

Idk if they should be so keen to snuff out strong re sale value (anti flipping or whatever). We all have to buy these sight unseen and with long delivery times. Would everyone take a flyer on those two things if the watches sold for msrp or less. I know I’d be less apt to try one if it meant I automatically lost

This should actually raise resale values--far less supply.

Seems to be a current trend. Doesn’t mean it will be forever but at these times of supply constraints. General Motors will void the warranty on any new Hummer
That is flipped within the first year. I am all for that and I wish Rolex and other watch companies follow.
