RE: You're killing me

Nothing wrong with the Powermatic movements provided that the lesser smoothness of the second hand's sweep doesn't detract. Probably their greatest issue is that your typical watch repair guy will have more difficulty in fine regulation.
My most accurate watch is a COSC powermatic Mido CommanderII that has been reliably running @ avg.+1/2 sec/day (-1/4 to +1.25 s/d range)-imo,pretty credible for a tool movement.

PS- I've a friend with a blue dial Tissot Chemin that he loves-the price of that COSC is like theft but fortunately I can'tget away with a 42 and don't have dresser space for another winder anyway.

PPS- agree entirely about the GS spring drives-love their dial face & marker detailing too.

PPPS- speaking of seiko's- i'm really impressed with the presage line- the workmanship is stunning and sold at midline pricing- near GS level attention to details of hands, markers and dial faces

PPPPS- as you are probably aware, Oris uses Sellita movements nowadays-ie: ETA 2824-2(SW200) or ETA Valjou(SW500)derived calibres.Sellita was formerly an Eta subcontractor and picked up the slack when Swatch Group
initially announced they would faze-out the supply of movements to outside manufacturers. The quality of the Sellita mechanisms are excellent.
