I have read through the whole thread and it looks like that most users are leaning towards VSF now, rather than MKS. I am interested in getting a Spectre but I'm skeptical about the VSF A8400/8500 movement. If it breaks, I can basically throw the watch away because there are no spare parts. Why don't I just go for the MKS you might ask? Well, I don't think I could live with the "Jewets" flaw. This would be my first rep and maybe it's just not a good choice for that occasion. Maybe I should look for another watch with a normal movement and no obvious flaws like the JeweTs.
