madasboot Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) These are the new aquisitions. Picked them up today... Curiously the guy who sold me these works with these movements since the 50's and have never seen a cal. 618! Mark, yours is the one on the lower picture. Cheers, M.

madasboot Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Comparation shots. Maybe these two photos can show the subtle differences on the finishing of the bridges. Maybe the one on the right will look for a new owner soon... My first one is now being oiled and cleaned. M.

Ben Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 is Portugal really the place to pick up a cortebert, i'm going there this year (couple of weeks away now!), if someone can give me a list of the places to look and the cals that are good for vintage pams i could happily spend a couple of days on the hunt. and if i found more then one i would sell the extras on here, so any help is appreciated!
