I've purchased so many watches recently. May wait for preowned down the road.

I love it! This next generation design language looks fantastic. But I'll be sitting this out and will pick one up on the secondary market I think.

I love the watch but something about the strap doesnt do it for me.

Im also a little gunshy with ming after owning one that just sat weird on my wrist. Like no matter how i adjusted it it wouldnt rest flat on my wrist. Never had that happen with a watch before. Wish i took pictures to show what im talking about but the right lug on 6:00 side you look down at was always angled up.

Neat design! I like the dial-integrated bezel. Also not digging the strap so much.

Which MING was that? Some tend to sit flat and others more rounded, so if you've got a bony/muscular wrist, I can see why some of them might not be perfectly stable. Lucky for me its all fat

Nice tone of the blue colour on the dial. I really like the blue rubber strap

My Bluefin has just arrived. The 2024 gphg winner in the sports watch category.
Also comes with a free strap. I am very happy with it!

Congrats! It looks awesome! I’m patiently waiting for mine.

Did they ask you what color extra strap you wanted or just sent a black one? I was already about to add the white to my order.

They mentioned there was a free gift to celebrate winning the 2024 gphg. I had no idea what it would be and no contact to choose the colour (although black would be my second choice for this watch after the blue)
