dadog13 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Today was a crazy bidding on the bay for 3 clocks having inside the sf240 mvt...all 3 were sold by the same guy and all 3 ended bought by members from the rep community...I was one of them, you know who you are... ...the seller says it is in good condition but not in working order...visually the mvt looks ok but that doesn't mean anything...now I have to wait that the watch gets to me so I can fw it to my watchsmith to check what's wrong...I hope that it needs just a good cleaning...and then it's off for another Angelus project... this is the pic of the mvt and all the comments are welcome...to me it looks nice, it has a nice finishing on the mvt...it's a cote de geneve finishing, right?

sssurfer Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Congrats, V.! I took part on these auctions on past times, but I got constantly overbidded so I gave up. Now you got my holy grail and you proved me it is possible in the end. Has it even small seconds? May I ask which was the winning bid?

t Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 all angelus movements have a second hand... it is only recessed on the movements... but with a long second hand pin you can install a second hand... no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Eastwood Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) dadog i have also a lot of spare parts on my stock if your movement needs a replacement. it Edited September 28, 2008 by Clint Eastwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 really?! thanks for that, I wasn't aware of this... where is the second hand located on the angelus sf240? at 9,6 or in the center? At the 9 O'clock position - as on vintage Panerai's. All Angelus movements share many parts - even key-wound movements have the space at the back of the plates to house keyless works (but are missing a central plate / bridge to allow you to do so) - essentially, the construction is modular, using around 80% of the same parts for each variant.

Watchmeister Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Dadog- Congrats. When T, Enzo VDB, etc. show up it is usually hopeless. They all have clients who will pay any price. With the professionals and their clients scooping up everything that comes up these prices will only continue to escalate so you got yourself a good deal. - Kruz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronos twin Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 awesome win, Dadog. I'm happy for you. What is the minimum mm casing this type of movement will fit in? Is this for a 44mm or 47mm project? Excuse my ignorance, I'm new to the mod game. kt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
