Can't Believe I Missed This!

i was watching this all week ready to bid at the last minute but got busy modding/servicing some unitas movements and forgot to bid i had a fun project in mind and i can't believe this went so cheap!

that's what ebay's all about, sometimes you can get incredibly lucky (or unlucky)

FF,

Invest a few $$ in a sniping programme ( I use Auction Sentry) and you will always have your maximum bid up!

Can tell you, it works for me, and there are a few "hidden" benefits, if you use it wisely!

key wind is no probem... if it is a 240 key wind it will worth at all $400- $500

Hey FF, consider yourself lucky if your preference goes for a cal. SF240.

Tourby is right, the one you "missed" is equipped with a cal. 190.

Someday someone has to explain me why the speculation around the Angelus mvmts...

I am very suspect but under the matter of vintage "common" mvmts, nothing beats the cal. 616 or 618 from Cortebért.

These bastards are really "little" powerhorses and is quite easy to find spares for them if needed.

If you are really after cal. SF240 I will keep you informed if one crosses my way (however Finepics has priority over it).

Cheers,

marco

i agree with you Marco

cortbert 616 are nice movements and very good for projects.

a project watch with angelus240 is very difficult or may impossible... and cost a lot of money and time

for alle vintage lovers... get with cortbert. Short Power Reserve is no problem, because i wind my movements all 24h. but i think cortbert power reserve is not much more???

thanks for making me feel better i'll do a cortebert instead. should be alot easier.
