What a weird hobby!

The 3130 features a full balance bridge as opposed to the balance cock system in the caliber 3000. The balance bridge is anchored at two points and tend to be more durable! I only have experience with the 3130 movement, but from most of what I researched it is quite the upgrade.
My advice- keep on researching while you’re saving. Plenty of time to learn the nuances between models and movements. You don’t have to be committed to either to start saving. You’ll be happy either way!
The idea of the birth watch always seems fun in theory, but I can never get behind it fully. Both of these watches are great, but the solid end links and 3130 movement are massive upgrades for everyday wearability. Both of these watches are neo vintage, but the 14270 shows it’s age quite a bit more. If you’re a “vintage guy” and don’t mind the feel on the wrist and the objective limitation of the caliber 3000, the birth year could be fun! Can’t really loose in my opinion! I went for the 114270, but a birth year Explorer would have put me into the days of the 1016 and my expendable income made the decision for me haha!
I have to admit, it took me a while to click on one of his videos. When I did I thought they were great and quickly binged quite a few. Seems like a genuine enthusiast who doesn’t take himself too seriously-My kind of people!
