New Ming Diver: Bluefin

Post by tmw » Thu May 23, 2024 6:24 am

Check this out.

I have had the diver in the past, and very cool. I still have a ming 27.01 - which is the thinnest watch I own (I think 6mm - manual wind).

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

Wish it was bigger and had more complications than time only… still waiting for the right Ming for me.

OK - I just read the spec's and it is definitely a unique and well-designed watch

That said, at $5,500 USD, I'm guessing the audience is pretty limited.

I hate to admit it, but at that price point, I'd personally be looking a bit more traditional.

I loved the previous diver - had it for a long while. In a lot of ways it was too nice to wear. But this is redesigned and thinner. The internal bezel is a great touch, and the lume on these is usually insane.

Im in.

Agreed. And if I was going to drop over 5 grand on a dive watch, I’d want it looking a bit more legible. Don’t get me wrong, I love the unique design, just not for a watch in this category.

I’ve got the older diver. It’s really well made watch. I want to love this one, but the price is about 2k more than I was expecting.

They replied my mail saying they don't have a physical store. Let me see if i can engage the founder - Ming for coffee or something...

Ha. I actually passed on this one. A little on the small side. But no worries, I still have 3 watches on the way.
