I'm a pretty big fan of the modern 4130, but I keep reading that many actually feel the 1570 is one of the best movements that Rolex has ever made. Your thoughts?

My favorite movement is the 650.
3186 - the parachrome-bleu spring is the reason
Wow, a very sophisticated caliber with a height of only 1.8 mm (!). The 650 was introduced in 1958 and was used (amon others) in the King Midas. I assume your lovely Midas is the reason for the unusual choice of your favorite caliber.Zitat:

For those who don´t know the 650, please find following a scan from an old spare parts catalog (R4):

In 1978 the improved caliber 651 with 18 jewels (650: 17) and 21,600 A/h (650: 18,000) was introduced.

Wum
How about the 3131?
It´s just like the 3186 that Elmar suggested but without the nonsense date and 24h-hand functions!
The cal. 3131 is the most basic of the modern movements, includes all the goodies like a balance bridge instead of a balance cock, a balance wheel with screws and the parachrome bleu hairspring.
That´s about all I want from a Rolex movement.

Interesting information....thanks for posting. are the 65x movements the basis for the movement used in the more contemporary Cellini models (the round ones)?Zitat:

Functional they all seem to be not bad ;)
Just for informative purpose, the 650 movement was also in Patek but was called 175.
REALLY?!?! I had no idea! 8o Who originally made the movement? Patek or Rolex?Zitat:

Neither, it was made by Rayville Blancpain as a calibre 58.
