excuse me Tom I have no idea what you are talking about?...we are talking about the new movements Miyota is making...I don't believe that is their slogan but rather a statement as there are many Asian movements that are plastic or a sub-standard material...even the eta G-10 is plastic :D
Japan is actually considered one of the top watch manufacturing countries in the world and Citizen is right up their with Seiko imo ....base Miyotas are not aesthetic but neither are most movements in their natural state....they can however be decorated by request and can be made to hack and this is from personal experience in dealing with Miyota on a watch projecthand6.gif
....don't know where you read the 200lb thing but apparently and I could be wrong this must pertain to a caseback and we are talking about the movements only and not the watches as pictured ;)
Just a comment...to tout that your movements are "metal" will probably not cause Swatch/ETA to run back to their design boards. yahoo.gif
