Anyone follow watchmakers Kurono Tokyo and MING? Better yet, does anyone have a watch they’ve purchased from these two and any opinions!

I bagged a Burgundy 17.09 Ming in their last release; doesn’t show up till October though, so I’ve never seen or felt one in person.

Actually, I got in on the second batch. The “10 minute” crew won’t get theirs till next year.

Have seen some people with MING watches on ig. Very unique watches

Ming has been unobtainable in the micro community for a while. I could never score one at launch and then secondary market prices were absurd.
The secondary market has cooled some as they are releasing more watches and the list prices are going up.
I had not heard of Kurono before, and the Tiko on their site is a really sharp looking watch.

Kurono Tokoyo is an awesome micro brand. The purpose of this watch making company is to allow people to purchase watches designed by Hajime Asaoka (huge independent Japanese watchmaker, we’re friends on LinkedIn - no big deal). Typically his watches run in the $10,000s+. I’ve followed them for almost a year now, everything they’ve released I’ve obsessed over. Extremely difficult to get - resell market is as/if not more ridiculous than MING

Does anyone have any insight into partners retiring early? I am at a point where I need to consider leaving if I am not aiming for partner. I don’t see myself working past my 40s. My partner and I are not big spenders and anticipate have enough to retire comfortably in 40s (obviously a lot can change). I have been assured I will become SM in next year (currently 31 years old).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

Alright this bowl has convinced me I need to buy a Rolex. Where do I begin? I know my brother got a Batman GMT after about a year at a jeweler he never purchased from a few years ago, but was he just lucky? Do I need a relationship with an AD in today’s market for a Sub or GMT? Based in Seattle but would prefer to buy in Oregon to avoid taxes
