Imho they are not going to be easy to find at a fair price (like ETA can be if you search them out) and parts will either not be available (restrictive factory policy) or hard to find for a newly introduced movement.

A...Because they are widely available, reliable, sell for $135.00 or so, and parts are available. Here is some info on the Newton...
