Awesome collection!! Do you still have all of the pieces?

Some collectors are concerned about the loss of one of the original movements (2500A) if they send their watches to Bienne.

The 2500C/2828C is an odd bird with the 7 beats a second, slightly less smooth than 8 beats, but a better timekeeper.

Got any more pics?
