Thanks for posting that for those who had not seen it yet.
I am aware of the "war" with bulova, but I was wondering if each movement or case change was tested to "re-qulaify" the equipment as flight qualified.
For example, in my industry, if a piece of equipment is changed from what was initially qualified for a process, that process must be re-qualified against the original specifications to ensure it still meets the customer requirements.
I just have not been able to find if this is in fact the case with the Speedmaster (as the movement was changed over the years), or if they just 'assume' it will work fine with no re-qualification.
If we made watches in my industry and changed something as critical as the movement, that would certainly require a re-qualification...

I believe the tests would have covered the c861 and 1861. The 1863 is only a decorative variation so imho that would not affect any change to the performance of the movement. OK Pal Be well now ZIN Not usually shaken nor stirred ;D ;D ;D
