I always see watch faces and that is true on most forums. But inside, locked away from prying eyes, are sometimes some beautiful movements even if they are basically undecorated.
So I went through my old watches and found this picture. '70's Zodiac 2 register chronograph.
Enjoy.

PAUL, nice!! i agree, the movements ARE an amazing piece of machinery. i have a 3 register 1958 wakemann crono and after seeing the movemant i now know why it costs 175. to 300. to clean and adjust one. it takes a lot of skill to work on one with SO many parts. mine is a manual wind, the automatics are even MORE complicated. i also own a 60s 2 register wakemann that was restored when i bought it. this hobby is so interesting, you learn something new every day.
