| Post subject: | A new SQ movement? |
I purchased a very nice looking B-1 from a fellow forum member early this month. He had just got it back from BUSA after a nice overhaul. The top item on the worksheet provided was a movement transplant! I've looked all over the net and a call to BUSA only revealed it replaced the E20.331. This is how it appears: Item number: 700.E20.351.5 Description: Movement Chronometer, CAL. E20.351, 13 1/4"', 9J I must say that the time it keeps is spot on after 3 weeks. I am really curious what changes they made and if this will be the B88 successor to the B68 and B78. So, has anyone else run into this new movement yet? Tom |

It's the Breitling 78 replacement for the original 68. No idea why they call it 20.351, there's no such thing. Breitling 78 is an ETA 20.341, 75 is a 10.351. |

Per BreitlingSource section on “Movements & Calibers” B68… Base Movement: ETA E20.331 B78… Base Movement: ETA Thermoline E20.341 My replacement B-1 movement... Cal. E20.351 [I confirmed it with BUSA tech] [Unless my math is off or we use fuzzy logic, 20.341=20.351? I don’t buy it. Maybe the B78 actually is the E20.351, not 341. I didn't want to argue with the tech guy with the accent.] I hope someone can un-confuse me or call BUSA themselves... Tom |

Tom I understand what you are saying, but ETA don't make a 20.351 to the best of my knowledge. |
