His post captures the excitement of securing a highly coveted watch through a lottery system, offering a collector's firsthand perspective on the delivery and initial impressions of this exclusive collaboration. This article delves into the community's reaction and insights regarding this unique release.

Took delivery of my first Ming watch today just like everyone else that tried and failed to purchase the Ming x Massena Lab on two occasions I got entered into the lottery draw for the limited edition of 50 honey dial and 150 black dial pieces. I was luckily chosen for the black dial and I’m certainly chuffed to be one of the chosen few.

Thanks for looking : )

I tried to order twice and then entered into the lottery, but no luck. Really happy for you!

The dial is actually designed on early Rolex honeycomb dials.
