Poll / Sign UP - Cortebert 616 to 618 Complete Movement
Posted: August 10th, 2020, 12:05 pm
Hi Comunity,
As you may know time ago i make and offer a A240 Kw to SW conversion Kit + ratchet bridge to the forum to a very specal price (one time offer).
Time ago i also ask about making a batch for Molnija conversion, but i was ask to offer 616 kits.
Couple weeks ago i buy about 14 Corteberts 616 to have a nice stock for the next time, and now same dealer offer me some more.
I was thinking in make a Limited one time 616 converted complete movements with a very reduced price (ready to put in).
The main differences in buyin just the conversion kits will be:
1.- Movement included. Sometimes movements comes with some defects, bad aftermarket parts, worn parts/jewels, etc. In good cases i regullary takes 3 Movements to combine parts and make 2 good working movements.
2.- Movement serviced. With pass of time i was making some improvements on movements service like Replace (if necessary) and poising balance to avoid big timing variations between different movement position. Deep cleaning with watch cleaning solution pluss manual jewel cleaning, using moebious oils and soon will arrive epilame to make threatment to pallet jewels and escape wheel theets.
3.- Movement and part finish: Regullary when you only buy conversion kit the finish on balance wheel with not match perfectly. Also i made ratchet wheel mod (center wheel polish or solei, i mostly mod to center polish as the solei ones can be replaced from the molnija ones). And custom HW and CP to use with 2mm dials. Option with seccond hands professionally trimed (with lathe).
A example on how will look a finished movement will be:

If theres enought interest and you consider price its fair, i was thinking on make a one time sell for 1150USD + Shipping Net on me (as gift/friends).
Payment will be half once sign up reach a minium and the rest will be once finished.
As before lets see if theres is enought interest and comunity consider price fair. As always im open to any suggestions/comments/constructive criticism/etc
*people with already open orders of 616 to 618 kits or any other still not delivered order (like a240 parts) can update order to this offer.
Regards!
