The price is what it is and it's fair considering the tooling costs and the amount of work for doing the new bridges.
A good C616 movement nowadays is around 350-400 USD, servicing costs are about 150-200 USD.

It seems that nobody else could do this kind of work and sell it for a profit.

RideInStyle is in the house, good to see you here !

Phew, I need to update my prices....

Hey M., good to see you here, too.

I was a bit quiet lately, but still checking the forum randomly.
Glad that you feeling better and keep posting on HF

Remember a quote from a swiss manufacturer for applying a CDG finish to a C616 bridge, 300-500 EUR each bridge plus tooling costs.
I considered this offer as I wanted a 618 style movement so badly and was very happy when Jorge offered his conversion.

you are right, its a lot of work.
the value of something is what a person is ready to pay for it

It is still unreasonably high price.
The question is how is movement really working, are all jewels fine, are pivots polished, what is the state of hairspring, what about MS, power reserve,isochronism, what are positional error results?
Personally, those facts are more important to me than aesthetic finish.
CdG is really awesome finish, tools and work with them are tricky stuff, that is truth, period.
However, for this price you could/should expect NOS movement....
I have few cort movements, 622, 620r, 592 etc, not aesthetically perfect but looking quite good. Hence, all of them are working very very well...

I guess it is in a perfect working condition as we know Jorge is a master for all this conversations.
no doubt if I had the funds and I don’t have to pay 30% customs fees I would consider to go for it
