Which segments of the Hodinkee article are you talking about in terms of being "positive"?
Mentioning that it was already sold out is a fact, not opinion. I knew that even before I read the Hodinkee article.
Yes, Hodinkee tends to have a positive voice, but that seems appropriate for a watch blog/publication/whatever rather than a critic. The Hodinkee voice is apparent in pretty much most, if not all, of their articles.
I think there is "hype" around Ming, so maybe it is indeed "Ming hype", but I really can't point to anything that Hodinkee's done to hype Ming up.
