beano2004 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I too was watching the auction yesterday and some how got mixed up with the time.. and i always thought the hands were the dead giveaway on the 240 no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDBroucke Posted November 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 give 4x angelus hands in varios design... yesterday i cannot say for exactly movt chance 50%-50% but price moderate and def a good movt but the another auction next days 100% price high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Eastwood Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I bid too. but i agree with T of beware for italian seller. i have ask the seller a question, 2 times in the next 3 days, asking only for diameter of caseback and price of shipping; never answer. Don't be sure i will try to spent/loose a lot of money in it. so good luck A Rolex movement will be nice too for me, maybe even better; if someone here have Rolex or Cortebert, or angelus movement for sale let me know, all type welcome, with or without alarm, with decoration "cotes de Geneve" or just flat, stem wound or key wind; i am OK for trade or sale. give 4x angelus hands in varios design... yesterday i cannot say for exactly movt chance 50%-50% but price moderate and def a good movt but the another auction next days 100% price high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I guess $3,000+ for that ebay piece. Too rich for my blood. I have watched these movements go from $350-$800-$1500-$2000+ and it is always the same four guys and they are all here (actually I haven't seen D for a while). Best of luck to everyone. More importantly, VDB - that is a beautiful watch. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the seller do not answer any question, there MUST be something going wrong... normal collector maybe have no chance if some rich guys chime in on this auction... but they have no problem if its not a 240, they have enough money to spent... Cool Stephan congrats for your new piece we want see it when you get it And this are your important words: LET THE VINTAGE GUYS STEP TOGETHER Let us work together not against each other the vintage parts getting more and more rare especially Cortebert 616 Stupid if we overbid eachother and the price raise up to the sky just my2cents cheers Helmut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Eastwood Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Not me; i don't want to take the risk to bid for 2500usd for a man who even not answer to my questions. But it will be nice if a man here can win it for a nice price. Good luck men !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2004 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Auction ended early did someone offer a price that is too good to be true? I know there are a list of people looking for a nonalarm 240 so the price will definatnly be up there i was ready to spend 3K on the auction but missed out. I do have 2 alarm one that i will be converting but the holy grail is the nonalarm movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 maybe it was a very low price? Who knows? But the buyer will also have the risk... a very high risk. It could be a different movement, because we never saw the movement and it exist many of 8 days movements in same size and same clocks.

Watchmeister Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 No I didn't bid on it as I had read a couple of days ago that one of our members was willing to go to a price I would not so why bid a friend up. The non-alarm Angelus will remain a dream for a long time. I next need to find a Rolex movement for the 3646 case and that is looking out of my league as well. Not to be a shit but I wouldn't mind it if those couple of Risti (not the folks around here of course ) who have been buying up all these movements at ridiculous prices felt enough economic pain to let go of a few of their dozens of movements. I am a believer that in the current difficult economic environment those who know who have the patience and know where to look will be rewarded.

A while ago a PERFECT Rolex 618 sold on an eBay live auction for around 1200$. And I mean PERFECT, it looked like NOS, there was not even a hairline scratch. And it came in a solid gold casing. I lost the bid by 5$ because I wasn't home. I could still bite my own buttox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 If this is the case, congrats to VDB. Can't wait to see the results. And yes this thread has served it s purpose. Now I just have to figure out how I can afford to "twist" VDB's arm to get the watch which started this thread. That is a work of art.
