I'm curious why specifically you guys think it's a ticking time bomb? I've want a very good ROO rep for so long but it seems there's always some kind of problem :lol:

Would I be better off getting an MBW ROO?

Its bad cuz the movement has been heavily modified to run the seconds at 12, it will work fine at first, but eventually u will hear: tick, tick , boom....and you will be the proud owner of a very nice paper weight.

Not necessarily, you can always do the graphite lubrication to help it last longer or revive it in case it stops working. Also, we still know nothing about the movement yet, it's a longshot [like a billion to one :lol:] but maybe they jeweled the transfer plate.
