Hi Morgan,

Do you really want to do this ?

I'm sure you know the following, but maybe some of the other guys here don't.

The grail has a 1045 in it ( Basically a lemanina 5100 ). That movement is really not very popular with some "movement fans". Whilst it is undoubtedly rubust, accurate & functional, the movement itself does contain a lot of plastic parts & some of these are visible from the back.

Here is a picture from the Ranfft page for the 1045

or the original Lemania 5100

to be honest, I love the movement :-) , but I don't really want to look at it :-(

All the Best

Steve
