Hi Guys.. Just received this Favre-Leuba Datic. It has an FL1188 movement which is basically the (much maligned) AS1687 in drag. While not as unique as the Favre-leuba's in house Cal.253. It has been used in some higher end watches like Girard-Perregaux and Zodiac. Some shun this movement because of its offset canon pinion but generally its not so bad. It's only if you need a replacement parts that it gets messy. The plating on the plates are the same as on the Cal.253 though. At least
