M+F IWC Black Aces

[Importr]

Here's mine. Generally I think it's OK. The AR could definitely be better. Only has a light inside coating.
The movement is very accurate. The lume lasts all night, but nowhere near as long as the gen (32 hrs). The rubber strap is much nicer quality than the nylon but looks a bit bland.

Looks good. Nice lume shot !

Whats is the movement of this rep

 

[Importr]

Sorry for the late reply.
The movement is Miyota 9039; no date complication. It's keeping good time, +5s day, but the rotor was noisy.

I smeared some oil in the bearing and it has noticeably quietened down.

Wish there were other factories doing Black Aces

It's been a few month now, any news about other factories of a V2 ? a V7F option would be quite nice.

Curious to see if anyone else has gotten one of these! Or OP - thoughts on owning it thus far? I really want one of these but it doesn’t seem to be a popular one that people post about.

Is this NWBIG? Looks really close, only thing I can see when comparing is maybe the 9 shape looks every so slightly off and the hour hand shape at the end being slightly different. Think I’m gonna get this rep

I ended up buying one from Trusty - my first rep purchase. Overall pretty happy with it since I really like the design of it and the rep is ~5% the price of the gen, but I did notice the dial on mine is really not as white as everyone else's here, and the engraving on the back is not nearly as clean as the QC made it seem.

Thanks for the info - this is M+F factory right? Your dial definitely looks a bit more off white / cream colored, but overall still looks good. How’s the build quality?

I believe so. Other than the dial, the build quality is pretty damn good. I think the engraving on the back cleaned itself up with some wear, and the strap could definitely be higher quality, but overall it's good. I don't have much rep experience to compare it to others, though.

Also, I haven't opened up the back yet, but you can hear the movement at times. It's not loud enough to be a bother / to hear when you aren't searching for it, and the only real time I hear it is when the rotor is spinning after a big hand movement. It's also my first movement of that kind (I think it's a Miyota?), so nothing to compare to either haha

Ordered one (M+F) from TD Hontwatch. My first purchase, cause there are not many gens out and it is not a common watch I would say nobody can see if it is a gen or not. The price for a first purchase is also ok.

M+ Factory got a V2 version of this Black Aces. The dial is more white than before.

Which AD has the v2 ? Thanks

 

[moarfish]

I don't know for international AD. I got update from China AD WeChat post.

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.

In case you haven't already found something - Search for Mysterious Code on AliExpress. They make basically an unbranded version of this watch.

Full ceramic case, Seagul movement, sapphire crystal and at a bargain price. I suspect they're using the came case suppliers as the rep factories.

I picked up a white ceramic black aces version and it's absolutely fantastic, keeps time to within 2 secs per day. One of the best value purchases I've made, much better price than the rep factories. They do various case colours and dials and come with decent rubber straps.
