ETA movements?

The Breitling of course is a stock V7750. The other is based on a Unitas but is very heavily modified and hand decorated by the maker.

Nothing wrong with plastic parts in the right places because they are self lubricating. As long as the don't move much. Omega uses plastic in the speedmaster manual wind but in the display back they use metal to keep it a secret. The plastic part is really an improvement over the metal.

Most watch movements don't cost much I mean afterall what are they but mass produced stamped out parts.

If as someone said Breitling is the gateway drug here might be pure heroin:

What, no gold chatons???

Sorry you can't join the club. Har har

Very nice watch.
