17 Series 17.06 Slate 38mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 38 mm case size

Ming 17 Series 17.06 Slate 38mm measures 43.9 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.16 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 80% of the 7,413 watches in this database and shorter than 58% of the 31 Ming watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 49 mm (1.93 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 59 mm (2.32 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.9 mm (1.73 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
