By the way, were you able to acquire the black engraved dial ref 2887 posted eight years ago?
Cordially,

Love the Art Deco styling and especially the shaped movements. Also, some really nice photos with the pool table.
Both movements were technical wonders . . .

. . . in their day. The T17 had an unusually long power reserve of sixty hours from a single mainspring, while the later R17.8 was one of the first production movements with a resonant frequency of 3 Hz. They're both solid performers. Amazingly, spare par...
