Agreed, last time the whole failed payment really turned me off. Ming is well-aware, yet not sure why they refuse to make buying easier like pretty much every other company both physical and online in the world. Huge congrats to those who were able to get a piece.

I struggle to see what the issue is. I see most of the complaints around the payment system are people in the US so maybe things are different.
My experience was faultless. Didn't even warn my credit card company in advance like Ming suggested. Just added my card and authorised it using the code that came through via text.
No system is perfect but I'd rather use this system as an existing client than Rolexes which seems to changed on a whim.
I don't need to be prejudged if I'm worthy of a particular watch thank you.

Be curious to know if the demand Geos follow other competing brands. I.E. - If majority of these goto Asia or what markets are high on Ming.

Ordered a Gilt today!

Does anyone here own a Ming watch? Any thoughts on their timepieces? This will be my first

Ordered yesterday night, but only realized it take merely 1 year to deliver.
But it's fair that it charged 50% as prepaid as opposed to other brand like "Sinn" which required full payment upfront for unknown time of delivery.
Every one is trying to be more cost effective in sales and production., perhaps this is the post covid effect.

The time they opened for Non-Prior owners is 4AM locally for me. So of course by the time I woke up everything was “Sold Out”. Don’t think I missed much, certainly not worth getting up at 4AM for.

I ordered the Glit dial too. One year is a long wait but the price seems reasonable

Reviving an old thread. Picked this up NIB from a member on WUS. Wasn’t crazy about the original strap so I threw this one on. Delugs light grey nubuck.

Don’t worry. It’s hard to make out the gmt hand. Like real hard
