All are 39-42mm, like the one from your link.
Small like Lemania must be 30-32mm and case must be 40-42mm, not 50+ like one from ebay

This one's price is going sky high already.Because of the "Hermes" branding, perhaps?

I think that it's because of the good condition, wide CdG pattern and incabloc. And of course that it says SF240.

I have heard of a buyer who bought a movement for $2250....

Does anyone have any idea what calibre Cortebert this is? 21 jewels and marked "3 adjustments" and "safety barrel". I was told by the seller that the movement was 41.5mm in diameter.

Thanks djolemag. I thought it might have been something 6xx. Not so bad to have missed out then given it apparently needs work.

Hard to tell from that angle, it is 526 or 528 depends on barrel size.
Pay attention it does not have a stem release screw for keyless

The movement does look really nice. I seem to have lost track how much these incas can fetch lately😊

That small screw, in the middle, between movement fixing screw and barrel bridge screw, that could be for keyless... Hard to tell, they all look similar from this angle...I just can't count up to 21 jewel on this movement, while it has brass bushing for centre wheel... Strange combination.
