This one you mean?

It's a bit too plain for me (the whole line, not just this specific one). I kind of prefer the Seiko SNZG13 as military inspired one:

The SNZG13 dial is nice, but I’m not a fan of the 4R36 movement.
 
Being simple increases the chances for a super-rep, I’ve seen (ZF?) Big Pilot listed as NWBIG but I’m looking for a 40mm model.
 
The IW3270-02 was released in 2016 and repped by MKS with a Miyota, and last year by V7F with a (refurbed?) 2892 (IWC’s caliber 30110 is 2892 derived).  This latest rep is M+F with an Asian 2892 (IWC has since moved to a caliber 35111 which is based on a SW300, itself a 2892 derivative). A gen elabore 2892/SW300 is ~$300 on eBay, a gen 3270 is a little over $3K grey market, anyone got one?
 
I’ve not come across M+F before. Are they related to another factory?
