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!!
