Post by: davidtth on August 21, 2018, 07:58:44 AM: about to pull trigger but two issue

1. paypal only, omg my paypal long dead, even CC had changed, took longer time to reactivate, forget about it

2. saw photo somewhere, the watch quality wasn't that great, either commercial photo is too awesome or the wrist shot photo is too bad

no chance to see the actual piece hard to tell if the finishing is on par with the price, gonna put on hold for this

I don't have professional camera , I took the lume shot by my smart phone camera and it took very long to shoot.

Actually the hands lume is kind of like uneven, it is like some lume dims and some lume is bright.

I also wrote to Ming watch see if it is normal.

Will update you guys here once receive their feedback.
