- the movement in the 214270 (3132) is likely to perform better over the long haul relative to the new Explorer (3230 movement). See various threads about the reported 32xx issues. The 31xx movements have stood the test of time, and is highly regarded.
You mentioned a preference for the mk1, but maybe worth taking a look at the mk2 214270 as prices have come down considerably, and the slight premium over the mk1 could be worth it in light of the “enhancements” (longer hands, lumed 3/6/9).
Either way, good luck.  |
Excellent advice. If I wasn't so lazy, it would have been my response. [emoji23][emoji1303]
