It's natural for owner's whose 3861 has failed to come here to report it, but the many thousands that are ticking away to spec don't get a mention. I doubt the failure rate at this point is any worse than any other mass produced movement. They had a problem when they were first produced but they were taken care of a few years ago under warranty. Solid upgrade over the older 1861.
Love the flatlink. Got a 57 ordered.
