I was responding more to the statement that some brands may reserve a movement specifically for a PM model vs utilizing the same movement across multiple models (including PM).

i just meant the reason why it is used across PM and SS models is a good one, its a damn good movement. to me it seems the changes in movement have to do more with complications than with the metal composition of the exterior casing and bracelet.
