Wise Advice
Thank you Bruno for your insights. About six months ago I purchased a Nautilus 5711/1A with a 315 movement. I later learned that the 324 would be replacing the 315 and was concerned that my watch therefore contained somewhat of a "lesser" movement in comparison. Your explanation has helped to put my mind at ease that my assumption was incorrect. Thanks!

Patek did upgrade...

BCL many thanks for your post....
