One thing that jumps out at me is that (Sean's pics) says it has 26 jewels? I think the eta has 25 jewels? Course I could be wrong...:shock:

It says the 200 is a 26 jewel movement, but on there site i see a reference for a 25 jewel movement also? I could be wrong on that. Meistersinger says 25. Maybe they modified it. E. Avery or Johnny could take a shot at it? I really read up on this yesterday for about 3 hours on opinions from different forums and different watchmakers.

Meistersinger has a watch using one, but its highly modified. Would the higher end watch companies follow Meistersinger as far as reworking the movement to meet there own qc? where would they source modules from? I came across some pics of the movement, but someone better here would need to point out the weak spots.

I see what your saying Oscar. I need to see who's a part of these watch groups. The movement does look unfinished. I would prefer to stay with the eta's myself. Theres nothing like the noise my Vixa chrono eta valjoux7750 makes when spinning the rotorhand6.gif as far as Bathys, there are afew complaints on the movement, but not many. I talked with the owner of Bathys afew weeks ago about sourcing the ti pvd he uses. Seems the company that was doing has stopped. The process is very expensive. So I sent him to the motorcycle aftermarket companies that use the same process for fork tubes and other parts that require they be strong but light. I think I sent him to Yoyodyne. He seems to be a pretty nice guy.
