Are there different versions of the Lemania movements ? Plastic & non plastic parts?

[Dimitar Adamski]

Good afternoon,

I took a photo of my Speedy movement few days ago when I was trying to regulate the movement. Obviously there was a plastic part inside, you can all see it well above the gear wheels.
However,later I was viewing another user`s post with his photos of his watch and particularly the movement through the caseback and there were no plastic bits. I cannot find the photo now ,btw.
Is it me and my vision or there are different versions of 1861?

Thank you in advance.

Yes the plastic part is replaced with metal on the see through caseback versions for aesthetic reasons.
