I think it is a bit more reliable - and runs a little more accurate at least on the 111 that had the new high beat platinum movt fitted in. Also has a nicer brighter bridge color, better defined, shaper engraved (vs printed on platinum low beat) OP text. Other than that I dont see much - it is as noisy (even though I like it) as the usual ones and I suspect the swan neck is for show only. I will find out once I open it up as I want to waterproof my 111.
