Great and valuable review, Zig. Reading this makes me realize that I'll wait on these movements. Getting spare parts is key to keeping these going for me.
I agree a vintage rollie forum would be nice, but like others have said, I go to "view new posts" so don't spend time going to a particular forum. For those who do concentrate on vintage, it might be nice not to have to wade through all the contemporary stuff.
All this talk about the minutae of the DW (I know it's important to some), makes one realize that if this is the major flaw, reps have hit Nirvana! considering for several hundred dollars one is getting an almost "Perfect" replica of a multi thousand dollar watch. Let put it in perspective. Not even the Panerai dealers will spot that flaw.
