Meistersinger may be a good example since their watches are made by Cattin CIE...the same company that is making the O7 as well as the Orsa Swiss Sea Anglers...but even decorated and finished it still looks rough compared to a eta or valjoux:) I have only known of Invicta using this movement and having problems with the winding stem not seating properly but then it is Invicta we are talking about:D....Bathys is also using the SW200 but not really letting the public know as their site still contends they use eta 2824-2 movements:( My contention is why pay top dollar for a watch using the SW200 which in no way has a proven track record for reliability as eta and valjoux does....only Time will tell....until then I will stick with eta based watches when I'm looking to spend over a certain amount of money....jmhohand6.gif I did some checking on the movement. 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.
