Should I be concerned about getting an FP 1185 equipped chrono? Sun, 06 March 2016 19:40 Go to previous message

Hello,

Just doing some preliminary research and have noticed a significant number of comments regarding the reliability of the FP 1185 movement.

Some articles laud the movement for it's smooth operation and integrated column-wheel design while others feel the movement is not as robust as it should be.

Any further comments from people who have had experience with this movement in say, an FF Flyback Chrono?

Thanks!
