Hello,

I love the look of the Manhattan Contellations (kind of like an AP RO). I have been on the search for one using a coaxial movement but stumbled across this older model using the calbre 1111. I have read that anything using a 10XXX movement is garbage. Does the 1111 have a decent reputation? Also, is this a decent price?

You realize this is a mid-size case approximately 36mm...

 

Yep, I prefer smaller watches.

 

The caliber 1111 is based on an ETA 2892 I think - a solid, if pedestrian, movement that's capable of good performance with an abundance of parts available.

 

Caliber 1111 is based on very popular ETA 2892-2. A very robust workhorse. Strong, reliable, reliable and easy to service.
The caliber that has trouble is the early 1001 and 1002. Even after 1010 these problems were already corrected (CMIIW).
