Ming Bluefin

Post by aikiman44 » Mon Jan 13, 2025 2:06 pm

Received today. Great design, wears really well. 600M diver, tested to 900M. The lower crown turns the dial. The indices are painted on the underside of the crystal.

“A metalized deep blue sapphire dial. It is etched and then filled with Super-LumiNova X1. However, in a move that differs from traditional internal-bezel divers, the internal bezel is on the main dial”

A nice description here:

That’s sharp! I’ve always been a fan of Ming.

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

I don’t think I could pull that off at 38mm, but it’s definitely an interesting piece.
