I recently had the 502 movt upgraded. It now beats at 21.6 VBH from the original 18VBH but also had the older Glucydur balance replaced with a free sprung balance enhanced with a silicone balance spring and escapement making it much more robust and allowing longer services intervals. @movintage . ... what a beauty . .. fabulous watch Sir . . . .. .
