: Hello,
: I've been browsing and have seen some talk
: about early problems with the Coaxial
: movement, leading to I believe, 3 versions,
: a 2500a,b,c.
: Is this correct ?
: I'd like to make sure that if I buy a Deville
: Chronometer or Cronograph, I get the latest
: movement with all the fixes. Is there some
: way to know this information ?
You are correct and yes, there is a way to find out. Look into the caseback (if it has a clear one that is) and make sure there is a '2500C' stamped near the ocillating rotor. The font is really small, so you'd need a loupe or some kind of magnifier to see it clearly. John Rochowicz has posted several pics of the letters, but the link doesn't seem to work anymore :-(
The 33xx series (chronograph) co-ax movements are still plagued with problems though, so I would caution you on that kind of purchase.
Hope that helps
