C07.1XX; these have a synthetic escapement.
C07.6XX; these have a regular escapement.
C07.8XX; these have a silicon balance spring.
Hamilton H14 movement is Powermatic 80 C07.661, the one with a regular (non-synthetic) escapement.
I still don't see what is wrong with the synthetic escapement but there's many concerns about it out there. But fear not, this specific movement doesn't have it.

Powermatic 80 being trashed more from consumer, much less from professional standpoint.
Sure no one want pay premium for it, but otherwise it's ok.

I could sit here and watch snob people because I own XYZ and ABC. That is malevolent behavior. There is always a watch snob with something more expensive and better for some reason than what is on your wrist.
Be glad that companies are selling affordable interesting watches. Otherwise you will see less and less people having an interest in mechanical watches when they can just go buy an Apple Watch and be done with it.
I got into watches via Invicta. I now own quite a few Rolex, Brietling, Omega, GP, plus a few other brands. I appreciate them all for their purpose.
