sconehead 5 Posted April 14, 2010 Just picked this up on a whim, Cortebert 620, didn't have time to research it. Suitable for a Vintage Pam? In working condition, obviously I'll have to clean and service it, what do you think/know about this movement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted April 14, 2010 No idea. Did you get a stem with it? Could be hard to come by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted April 14, 2010 How big is it? Will determine what size case you need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted April 14, 2010 No idea. Did you get a stem with it? Could be hard to come by. I reckon a Mollie stem might do the job. Could also try a modified ETA, if not I've seen Cortebert stems on ebay, they weren't that pricey as I recall...It might come with one, I haven't asked the seller yet...

sconehead 5 Posted April 15, 2010 Cool find...Scone, do you know if the Cortebert and Molnija movements are the same diameter as the 6497's? Just a quick measure of the diameters with digi calipers gave this, Asian 6497 = 37.20mm Molnija 3601 = 36.54mm Cortebert 616/17/20/22 = 35.45mm (according to the literature) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Molnija and 6497 are closer than I thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
