For the Ikea crowd.

It just blows my mind that all those little pieces make up a timepiece with such precision.

Sunshine · 7 November 2010, 02:50 PM

3186 or 3185

level · 7 November 2010, 11:38 PM

Looking at the hairspring I would say 3185.

HL65 · 7 November 2010, 11:43 PM

Amazing! Great shot!!

buz-lh · 8 November 2010, 12:04 AM

Great pic Alan. Where are the instructions?

Frogman4me · 8 November 2010, 12:08 AM

Always amazes me seeing the movement taken apart. I try to explain to non WIS people how incredibly complicated a movement is considering its size, it puts a car engine to shame.

nauticajoe · 8 November 2010, 02:15 AM

Great shot Al!

rfknauss · 8 November 2010, 02:17 AM

Al, fabulous pic!

clb521 · 8 November 2010, 02:19 AM

And the accuracy you get with a watch that has no computer chip or electronic component in it. I love looking at the sweeping hands beating at 28,800 beats per hour!

Speed · 8 November 2010, 02:22 AM

Does it come with instructions - and a disposable Hexagonal screwdriver?

Damage Inc. · 8 November 2010, 02:51 AM

I love dissection shots! Looks to me like a B. Ridley shot...or is it something you're working on?
(and I think 3185 from what I can see in the photo)

unclesallie · 8 November 2010, 02:57 AM

wonderful!

how how the hell do you get it back together?

Route 66 · 8 November 2010, 03:07 AM

Maybe Rolex could sell their watches in this form at a lower price!

"Kit Watch" like in the old days, with Realistic/Radio Shack and radios! Would need a good/catchy name, though......

Too funny!

X2 it does look like the infamous Ridley green. Very cool.

Rags · 8 November 2010, 12:36 PM

Ok so who is going to put this thing back together?

PHDX2 · 8 November 2010, 12:51 PM

Neat photo---thanks for sharing!

Lion · 8 November 2010, 01:01 PM

Boy, I'd hate to see the instruction manual for putting those pieces together!!!
Is the manual longer than War and Peace.....

Art161 · 8 November 2010, 04:53 PM

You think you're finished with the assembly, but find one piece left over.
