You're Saying I Can Sell?

I decided I want a ginault as a daily wearer, very familiar with them but I have 0 knowledge regarding movements. I can choose either the Sellita SW200-1 or their CAL7275. I asked Ginault what the pro and cons are and they told me it's preference, no real upside of one over the other. Hoping someone who does know a little about movements can chime in and help me make a decision. I'm looking for reliability, it's going to be put to use. Thanks

I'm no expert but here's a couple sites I found regarding your question.

http://calibercorner.com/ginault-caliber-7275/

http://watchflipr.com/movements/sellita-sw200-vs-eta-2824-2/

http://calibercorner.com/sellita-caliber-sw200-1/

And found this on another forum:
Further, here's a question & answer from Ginault about the forthcoming release of the ORII

Q: Why the move to a Swiss movement? Isn't the CAL7275 your calling card?
A: The move to SW200-1 is a business decision. Machining and assembling a CAL7275 takes long hours. For the past two years, we almost outgrew our production capability. Using SW200-1 helps us solve this bottleneck issue and helps us deal with current/future demand increase. Also since 99% of the members want a Swiss movement instead our own, we figured why not? Give the people what they want.
