And a follow-up comment and question from the final paragraph:
“So do they know what the problem is? Yes, I'm sure they do by now. The problem that presents itself is repairing this issue without sacrificing any of the promised performance metrics that this movement is known for. So that means not changing the accuracy and power reserve goals. It's not that they don't know what to do, because they have built plenty of robust movements in the past - it's doing so while maintaining the current performance demands that is the issue.”
Given the apparent difficulty in achieving the movements objectives, one also has to wonder whether a permanent solution can be found at all, or whether it simply comes down to the skill/ luck of the watchmaker in reassembling one’s watch after a service?
