He's kind of a nutjob. A really useful source of information at times, but he has absolutely no ability to read intention or direction in any post that he's ever gone after. I have seen him do that before... the whole "let's dredge up lots of posts from a while ago that might put you on shaky footing" thing. It's annoying.
In his defense (what little of it can be had) he DOES have a pretty amazing understanding of watchmaking and watches in general. It's a real shame stuff just hits him strangely.
But yeah, the 2500 is totally stable and built upon one of the best 3 hand movements currently in production: the 2892.

Awesome movement. It's a common misconception that it is a "higher quality" version of the 2824... it is actually the final evolution of a much nicer Eterna movement. More on that here:
