sorry to say this one is a fast beater. it's a 28,800, but all is not lost as i do have a lemania 5100 that is a slower beater. here is a pic of her.....

this one ticks much slower than the heuer, and i had my watchmaker look at it, and he confirmed it's all original and untampered with, as i always have him look at new ones when i get them.

nope not my first, my third. i do like the movement almost as much as the cal 11-15's maybe more i haven't quite decided yet. i really like the sound and feel of the microrotor winding in the cal 11-15's but the lemania is growing on me. once again thanks for the info!

yeah, i know but thanks! sorry no history that i know of, other than it had a hard life and someone enjoyed the hell out of it.:)
