looking to buy a Patrimony Traditional Chrono

[tictac]

Hi Lads
I want to buy a Patrimony Traditionnelle Chrono, i have a question on movements - also so far dealers seem unable to source these atm so if anyone has one and would be intrested in passing it on - i would love to hear from you...

the movement question is simply manual or auto?

i like very much the idea of a bullet proff accurate reliable manual wind, ST19 or Lemania etc
where as the auto has obvious advantages as i would wear this watch often if not daily, but i worry about 'reliability'/service intervals/care - the movement that i have seen supplied with this watch a a TD's (no stock though) is a
Swiss ETA-2890-A2 45J automatic movement with Dubois-Depraz 2030 Chrono Module, 28800vph
NOT A MOVEMENT I AM FAMILAR WITH ALTHOUGH IT CARRIES A SIGNIFICANT PRICE PREMIUM! so can i assume its as good as it gets?

Those images are not working. Would be nice to have a link to the TD's listing for the watch...

And it's not because a watch is crazy expensive that it's good ! That Dubois-Depraz module stuff probably make it damn pricey.

I can see the pics ok - so apologies if they are not viewable by anyone else, the stainless steel version was the one i wanted - and i cant find any TD with stock and the 2 i have emailed have said its not available atm. in an ideal world i would like to have a choice between manual wind or auto.

the auto worries me due to the specialist nature of the movement and finding a watchsmith capable and willing to work on it.
