First, nice watch. Ming always wears a little dressier so I lean black personally. Is the dial black? It could be the light, but if blue, a dark navy blue strap would look great.
Assuming back, I would start with this leather strap.
Or, if you want something with texture, this sailcloth.
If it is blue, I would get this one personally.
I've been using the strap tailor. He is a custom strap maker from England. I've had him make pretty much anything from any materials. His straps are spectacular. If you want something to fit factory, you will send measurements with pics, and presto. Beautiful. I've tried many makers over the years, and his straps are really fantastic. I am in no way affiliated with him, this is just my honest opinion. I always feels a beautiful watch deserves something as nice.
A nice navy in Crocodile 🐊 skin, the fake Croc skin of course…
Do Ming do a bracelet to match the watch?
I'm still waiting for my Ming delivery, but you'll need to get a "curved strap" I think. Delugs offers a bunch of curved straps and I've found their Strap Guide to be really helpful.

Yes. Ming offers a stainless steel bracelet that fits most of their watches.
Try @linhnghiem he has some very nice straps 👍🏼
A curved end black or brown leather (suede/nubuck) or a grey curved end fkm rubber strap will look stunning on this. 🔥
Finding a strap is almost as bad as choosing the watch 🤣
The light brown definitely will make the dial pop

Go with wild colored Nato straps for daily variety. Leather and canvas get boring and that watch is too pretty for boring.
Stick to the minimalist theme and tie string around the spring bars. 🥸
Hi @BookofTS! This Ming has curved lugs and will not take straight spring bars. I just thought to give you a heads-up. 🤷🏽♂️😜🍻

The dial is blue! Will look into the blue strap you shared. Thanks!
Looks very good! Is this calfskin?

They just released a bracelet, but quite expensive…

Oh wow! Great find!
I've got that watch and in my opinion it comes with the best strap possible. I personally wouldn't charge it. The blue suede strap it comes on is from Jean rousseau and it one of the best strap makers around. They make straps for patek and VC. If you do want to mix it up a bit then the other companies I use for straps are hirsch and also delugs. A bright coloured strap would look popping but hard to match with the blue dial.
