The funny thing was I knew that they made one, but with all of the things that our various company's do, 3 children, and regulating the info that is available to the masses, I have lapses in recall some time, just to much info. The problem with this movement is and the other ones like it, was the nylon parts and the inadequate jeweling, all done in order to make it more cost effective. I have not had one of these in my hands since I was in my early 20's. Service it regularly, and I mean regularly and there will be no problems, you can not slip like you can on one that is fully jeweled. Metal on metal is not a joke and should not be played with, this movement is from the dark days. I believe it was designed in the mid 70's or maybe the very early 80's but I do not believe so, I will ask one of my mentors and find out.
