Saw that post at Chino the other night, but I was half asleep and it didn't sink in properly...
Auto - interesting. They're a little small for my tastes nowadays, though, (37mm) - the same size as the A660 Chronomaster. I like this style better than the newer generations, they have gorgeous individually applied minute markers (60 of them!), like some Grand Seiko models.... here's the text from Chino - wonder what else uses this movement - an eco-drive one would be good (it's in some Campanolas) as the rest have to go to Japan for service...
