Wow! Some of those guys are pretty anal about movement accuracy! I had seen some threads over there but not that one. I guess I won't worry too much about the plastic parts, they've been out for a little while now and I'm not paying for a Patek/Rolex/Omega/etc. or anything, so if I get a few years out of it and it goes kaput, I guess I can live with that. I'll decide on sending it in for factory service or just replacing when it happens.A Tissot is on my radar too. I did a little digging and found this. It has some good info.
