Angelus SF240: A Great Investment...if you brought one back then!

[Niko]

It was only four or five years ago that you could pick up an Angelus SF240 mechanism for the cost of the vintage 8 Day travel or alarm clock that housed them, some as cheap as $100. Some of you will remember the incredible work done by Enzo (who was once a member of this forum) and others in creating vintage Panerai pieces with Angelus or Rolex mechanisms.

Here is an admittedly mint looking SF240 mechanism on eBay with bidding currently at $2700.

There are many members who have been lucky enough to get hold of an SF240 over the years and fit it into a vintage Pam project.

If you brought one back in the day, then it has turned out to be quite an investment!

Yup, silly prices being paid by silly people for a basic if classic handwind movement with no real special attributes apart from being found in a few early Pams. And alarm clocks.
27 hundred dollars :facepalm:

i have been searching a few months for one of these for a pam203 project and it seems even the shizzy looking ones are selling for over 2 grand. so yeah 100 bucks was a fantastic investment back then...
