Very nice watch

In Response To: Movement for the 2298.80.00 *LINK* ()

: I was just wondering if the 1164 movement was
: generally a stable and reliable movement. I
: have the old Titanium version of this watch
: and just wanted to know how it compares to
: the other movements (prior to the Coaxials,
: ofcourse).
: Thanks in advance...
Cal.1164 is a modified Valjoux 7750 movement. Many watches on the market have the same base movement. It seems to me that there are a lot of happy owners of Valjoux 7750. Yes, it's generally considered a stable and reliable movement.

Actually, most (if not all) current movements are pretty reliable. But chronographs are at a disadvantage in this regard comparing with chronometers, because they are more complicated.
