Davidsen '618 Rolex' movement

Does anyone know if these are still available and whether they're any good in regards to quality? Are there any more attractive alternatives to the ratchet wheel they come with?
I can't find anything current on the old internet.

I think that they are available, I saw them not many weeks ago.

They are based on the Asian 6497 and the quality is excellent. The only thing I have noticed so far, is that the adjustment was way off. It may have been a one time thing, I can't tell for sure.

I used several of these in builds, they mostly worked fine but a couple had issues. One had to be sent back and replaced.
