My MB Minerva Split Second just landed this weekend, and I’m really impressed. The winding is super smooth, and the chrono/split-second action feels great. It’s my first split-second, so it definitely has a special spot in my humble collection. I’ll be keeping it on the wrist for a while 😊

Cheers, Henry.

Thank you, Larry. The “black ruby” (as accurately described by another fellow member’s wife) bicompax dial is indeed the trigger of this acquisition 😅

Beautiful 🔥

Can we have a movement shot when you get a chance? I love the way the dial looks so different depending on the lighting. I think I’ve seen one other member post this one, so certainly an uncommon piece. I’m sure you will enjoy it for a long time to come😊. Congratulations!
