If not red, then what color would you say it is? To my eyes it is some form of red.

Dang.

Tough crowd out here today Jocke!

Haha

But I do wonder what that wheel is for?

Maybe it’s the main gear?

I don’t know much about watches, but I do know that THAT is not a balance wheel

Or a pallet fork

Or a barrel

Hahahaha

I'm happy some of you like it.

The two red colored wheels is the reversing wheels that make it possible to wind the rotor in both ways. It have a light alloy
and are coated with PTFE for lubrication of the outer teeth and inner clicks.

Red burgundy maroon or whatever most guys knows what gears I'm talking about if you don't find them at my pic.
