Aaaaahuuu caught you:- looking in the answer book :rofl:

#38 must be broken down into it's proper components for the answer to be valid.

I query the answer to #45 as I thought the balance bridge was one of the components shown in #38 :thinking: So we need some professional advice on that one :chuckle:

If anyone has corrections/comments to make they are more than welcome.

Hey were still not finished yet :banghead:

[Alcan]

Wow, tough audience here. :chuckle:

OK, balance staff, balance wheel, hairspring, MicroStella timing nuts, balance bridge.

Yep, looks like you're right. #45 is the curvy metal bit. :cheers:


Here are a few more:

18. date driving wheel lever

28. date driving wheel

35. balance stop spring

50. canon pinion

62. drive train wheel bridge

[Skutt50]

In addition to Alcans list above the part #38 also should include the roller (and roller jewel).

Also an Incablock could be added to #38, i.e. endstone, holding spring and jewel,

Incabloc is proprietary; Rolex uses KIF shocks on the 3135..........:thumbsup:

Hi Larry,

Is KIF in any way superior or better than INCABLOC?

Thanks - JJ

[Lol-x]

Nice going guys.........we're getting there but there is still a lot more to go :agree: :agree:

This was fun. I'll have another go:

41 = Center wheel
47 = 3rd wheel
48 = 4th wheel

[Vanessa]

19 and 20 are the setting wheels (they break easily:dummy:)

Thanks, Vanessa! At least I got one (out of two) right. (Would have been more if others hadn't beat me to the list :banghead:)

I think #31 was my mistake. #32 & #33 are something like a jewel and a washer of some description (maybe related to the escapement) :agree:

[watchmaker]

Hi Larry,

Is KIF in any way superior or better than INCABLOC?

Thanks - JJ

They are both different. No real reason to say either is better or worse.
There are many different varients aswell, for example KIF trior KIF flector.
However I will say in my experience, incabloc springs are more likely to stay where you want them, and kif are often the ones you will lose.

[watchabit]

Is 60 or 61 the barrel bridge?
