Not sure if there is a specific question there or not? If you are asking which movement is better if either is, then you have to define what you mean by better. The Cal. 1861 is not COSC certified, let alone METAS, so it won't likely be as accurate. It's not especially anti-magnetic, so it has more of a chance to be magnetized. It's not co-axial, doesn't have a silicon balance spring, it's manual winding - all these things might be seen as negatives, but for me it doesn't really matter.
The 1861 is proven to be reliable, and if properly looked after will last indefinitely.
