One was misaligned hands, two were problems with the rotor which prevented proper winding. One of the latter it took four months just to get a quotation for a repair and then when it did come the bill was huge. The long delays in servicing are well recorded and to an extent justified, but four months to get a repair quotation is pretty shocking IMHO.

On the 5134 the problems are well documented and most relate to winding issues where over-winding protection seems to be non-existent. Of course this is an old manual movement, so very different to the 5164.

Sorry, off topic, congrats in advance to the OP on your future incoming, you will not regret it one bit!

The tonneau shape doesn't do it for me.
