FS: MING 17.06 Copper with optional bracelet

[WRXtranceformed]

Hello folks! I am very excited to be able to offer one of the sought-after models from one of the hottest independent brands right now – the Ming 17.06 Copper. The 17.06 Copper, as with most if not all of Ming’s watches, was a limited run, has been long sold out and in 2019 it was awarded the GPHG “Horological Revelation” prize. Some of the unique features are that it was machined to tolerances of 10 microns, allowing for a 20 micron edge bevel and it has double lug holes to accommodate straight and curved springbar straps.
Here are the full specifications:
- Case, dial & hands:
38mm diameter, 10mm thickness, stainless steel 316L with solid caseback, mixed brushed and polished finish
43.9mm lug to lug measurement
Sapphire crystal with antireflective coating on both sides
Rigid case without spacer rings
100m water resistance with triple crown gaskets
Composite, multi-layer, three-part sapphire dial in metallic copper
Hands coated with Super-LumiNova C1
Dial ring printed with Super-LumiNova C1
- Movement:
Automatic ETA 2824-2 Top grade modified for MING
38-hour power reserve
28,800 bph (4Hz)
25 jewels
Hacking function
Movement adjusted to five positions with a 250-hour test program
- Straps
Smooth calf tan with white stitching, handmade by Jean Rousseau Paris
20x18mm, quick release with curved fitting
Will fit 160-210mm (6.1”-8.3”) wrist circumference
Signed pin buckle
- Bracelet
20mm end links tapering to 18mm double folding clasp, made from 316L stainless steel

Condition wise I would put this example at 94-95%. There are no major dings or dents in the case, crystal or bracelet. There are only very minor hairlines on the polished bezel and brushed surfaces of the case from normal handling, which are really only visible under harsh, direct light and close examination. There is a very light scratch on the top of the 5 o’clock lug from what looks like an errant spring bar, however due to the case design and polish it is not noticeable at most angles / lighting. There are some light desk diving marks on the clasp area of the bracelet. The movement is running extremely well, I clocked it between 0-2 s/day on my timing app.
The watch will come with its full kit – the outer box, inner bag, warranty paperwork (expired), a black leather travel pouch handmade by Studio Koji Sato, the lightly worn leather strap with MING hardware, extra links for the optional bracelet and a brown travel pouch specifically made for the watch when the bracelet is installed.

I am asking $3,999 net to me, including shipping in the US. Not interested in trades at this time – trade offers will be politely ignored. Please message me with any questions or interest and thanks for looking!
