Falco Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 that's what ebay's all about, sometimes you can get incredibly lucky (or unlucky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 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! Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 congratulate you saved some money this is wrong angelus 190 caliber. if this was 240 caliber... you has no chance to buy it, because tourby is on bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madasboot Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
