Thanks Ken; the SST never used the AS1701, early models used the AS1903 which isn't as robust, the rotor fixing method isn't as sophisticated as the AS1701 a real weak point. Later models used the AS2063 (hacking but no quick-set date) and finally the AS2163 (hacking and quick-set date). The first one I had of these had a 2163 movement but I have always wanted this version!!

 

Sorry...I should have made it clear that I was referring to the circa 1965 Airman.
