theycallmethebreeze 0 Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Hi all! The IWC Vintage Ingenieur in black has been a watch I've been on the lookout for, and oh pray, I came across a new version at Trustytime and Hont: https://trustytime.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_192&products_id=18646 It has a 9015 which makes me doubt to try it, otherwise looks clean. I've never heard from AI Factory before though. Anyone experience with AIF or this model? Thanks! Edited May 29, 2020 by theycallmethebreeze wrong url Share this post Link to post

Probably a scammer. This is the correct one: https://www.trustytime.shop/ and I suppose you refer to this one: https://trustytime.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_192&products_id=18645 Miyota 9015 is a very good movement. Anyway, 14mm seems thick for that watch, is that the gen thickness? Share this post Link to post

Anyway, 14mm seems thick for that watch, is that the gen thickness? Wow, saved me there, thanks! Corrected the URL. It's the same thickness as gen (gen actually being 14.5mm). Concerns with the 9015 might be the noise in this fairly large casing. Other than that I can't seem to find other models from AIF. Other Might just try it and see what's what.

Check if still available, as it came out 2 years ago...Noise isn't a big deal, you just need to put a micro amount of oil in the rotor ball bearing to fix that Share this post Link to post
