seems like it is not running on A2892 but some other japanese movement? Hope it's a high beat movement. Anyone got a link from a TD?

I couldn't find much info on this ref except one website which isn't an IWC site?

for anyone curious to see the ben in action:

It's crazy to me how China has become the absolute number one focus for IWC it seems. To the extent that we learn some models exist through the rep grapevine before they appear in Europe!

I like the look of this watch...but at 41mm, it does seem a bit small. If Dhgate or Aliexpress rep this, I may pick up a cheap one just for the lume and dial. :)

Where did you order if I may?

I asked Li about this model based on the pics from his website and he confirmed that lume was only on the hands and markers, which is totally wrong:

The same model on trusty shows a full dial lume, as expected:

It's weird that the same factory M+F produces 2 different versions. I ended up not ordering from Li. I'll be very interested in your feedback.

From Trusty was mine.
The typical pics from M&F look like there's a light AR, but on a white dial watch, it's not as much an issue for me
