Anyone know, apart from Rolex and Panerai, which brands used this movement?

 

Some people out in repland seem to know but are keeping quiet about it...that's not cricket imo, it's why forums exist to SHARE knowledge...

 

Let's spread the word if we can...:rofl:

They're not talking because they're trying to keep speculators out of the market. But since I don't give a damn, I'll tell you guys...

 

They tend to show up in funny-shaped Rolex pocket-watches from the 1930s/1940s era:

There's another old watch where you can find them as well, which I discovered via hours of research online, but I have promised a couple of trusted individuals that I won't divulge the information until after an ongoing auction ends, early next month. I'll disclose the details that I know in this thread at that time.

Cortebert built watches under their own name too, so I would assume that the 620/618 movements also appear in those...

The Rolex 618 was also in Eaton pocket watches...
