YEah ... another one I missed!! :lol: Crap!!!

It most likely has one of those prototype Angelus movements (like the one I posted in my recent thread) - OR ... maybe a SF240? It has hands exactly like mine and the others I have seen, and it is from the same era ... and non-alarm. I just wanted to get it for the parts .... but that thing went for $300+ ... like the last one.

but I have seen an AF clock like that with an old SF240 inside ... so, maybe?

Hopefully whoever got it chimes in?

HERE to compare ... notice it's not 240 .... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Triple-Abercro ... SwePpeAWZG

Anyone from HF got this one. I am curious whether it was sf240 or not😊
Unless the alarm hand was hidden under one of the hands, it is a non alarm. It went cheaply.

As mentioned,I think it isn't a 240 but the "other" one,the AF foursome had exactly the same dial and hands,a colar under the crown seems thicker than on sf240 as well,those "prototype" movements have that.Again,there is a chance it was indeed the sf240,I am curious.I wish the seller could have made a photo of the back.

I messaged seller. Dial is 25.4mm would be a very small watch.
