what is the difference in movements? OP I and OP II?
i am considering either the 000 or 005 and i see they are listed as having different movements. the 000 has an OP I and the 005 has a OP II. so what is the difference?

The difference is trivial. They removed the canon pin for the second hand on the OP I. That's it.
Neither have a swan neck regulator.

Before you ask, here is a non-swan neck movement. Picture from Eddie Sanchez's 390. This is an OP I. Look at the bottom left of the picture for the pointy arrow thing between the +/-.
![]() Link to his post. http://www.network54.com/Forum/35339...familiar+view+..... here is my 111G with a swan neck regulator. OP XI. Look at top middle and see how teh same pointy arrow has a curved piece of metal touching the pointy arrow. That is the swan neck regulator, the curved metal piece. ![]() The swan neck is used by watch makers to adjust the watches timing (if off). The swan neck makes it easier for the watch maker to adjust, the non-swan neck is still adjustable, just not as easy.
