Interesting eBay Auctions

[Yoda]

I wonder how one can start an auction with "8 giorni" in the title when the movement is an Asian clone....

Exactly, that was the auction that made me wonder.

Angelus 240. Was an alarm. Has (probably Chilean) non alarm plate. Winding gears/clutch from alarm unit so you can’t turn the crown backwards when in winding position.

Unfortunatelly I noticed this one couple of minutes before the end,otherwise I would post it here earlier.It's the second one of this kind I've seen,beside Amperes',which was Angelus branded.Very nice condition,but would be a shame to "canibalize" it just for the movement.

Indeed they are.I find the watch a bit too expensive,though.In case you have to sell the movement sometime in the future,count in the service/repair,etc.,a conversion...And it's an old non-shock protection model from the 40s,those don't reach the same numbers as the later models.Would be a really nice piece of history to own in a collection though,if money is not an issue.

By the way,congrats to the buyer,if he/she is a member here:)

For $20 to get a few replacement movements... hell I've had bad reversing gears etc and it's scrapped a project... I'm not against buying 2 of these from their "US" stock and getting them in a few days.

I’m not understanding this at all.....

I don’t see the appeal at all... not a precious metal ... and look at the pic on page 8!!
