The two also looked rotten to me.
For the 1 the thing is the price. Would you give ~100USD for a broken 616?
Why are You saying it's broken? Are there any known problems?
By the seller description it sounds that it needs service and mainspring (like @yoda said). He told me that you can adjust the time, the balance wheel looks ok but won't wind. That is why I'm assuming something is broken.

$100 for number one? Yes, I would.

Doesn't wind is not broken, just not working properly and it is probably some easy business. A broken staff is no problem either.

I just don't like how number two looks.

Thanks for your help.

Going for door number 1. Try to drop the price a little bit.

Keep us posted and ask if you need help.
I have new mainsprings and staffs for Cortebert 616 to burn, just let me know and I will be happy to supply.
If you want service and adjustment, I am only a call away.

Help movement Cortebert 616

When you think you’ve made a decision and found something that leaves you confused.

I found this eBay auction https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-POCKE ... 472?_ul=PT.

The guy is selling 6x 616 for 195€ each, at least on eBay. I talked with the seller and found that he lives 10m drive away from me. Waiting for the response of how much he could sell each.

I only need 1 movement. If any of you have interest buying the remaining I can propose buying all for less money.

Anyone interested?
