Re: Incoming. What's in the mail? Post pics
Well, I am only starting out small and steady. I’m waiting on a bronze 3646 display back case from an eBay seller in Germany which will take a 6497 movement. Add a dial and hands and that will be my first attempt at putting together a watch (I don’t say build at this stage). Ebay has become an addiction. I did also buy a very cheap Cortebert pocket watch being sold in Australia (normally everything needs to come from overseas) - I was the only bidder and haven’t seen the movement. What are the chances it contains a 616? The case is gold filled and it has an inscription on the back dated 1959.

I’m a little optimistic because of the location of the regulator window. We will see Monday or Tuesday when she arrives.
I know it isn’t a rectangle 8 day for sure [mention]nje2791[/mention]
