Hello!
Since I missed a beautiful PAM 6152 in M2M, I decided to build one my self.

I got a gen Cortebert 620 to power it, but unfortunately the movement is not moving. I was wondering if there is a technical documentation or service manual around so that I can service it or figure out what spare parts I would need.

So far I read that the Rolex 618, the Cortebert 616 and 620 are all similar in construction and dimension. (620 being a little thinner though). Therefore a service manual for any one of those should be a good start.

Does anyone have the manual, or the link where to find it?

Best regards!

There was quite some dirt in the movement.
so far all Wheels are ok and turning. It seemed as if there was no oil in it anymore. I need to put in in the ultrasonic cleaner, but I have to read which fluid to take and I have to order some Moebius Oil.

AND
There was some foil / adhesive tape UNDER the balance wheel assembly! I removed it, but the balance wheel doesnt spin. It actualy stops after 1 and a half movements/pivots.

So maybe there is a wrong balance staaf installed? or the balance staaf pivots are bend, or there is dirt in the bearings...

Or the hairspring is mangled?

Is there a source for Cortebert 620 balance parts?
