Watch Movement Part Names

 Here is a picture tells you wristwatch movement part names.



Come to think of it, I do have this very movement, and even its precursor, in my multiple pocket watches, including a skeletonized version.

Fakewatchbusta


Funny stuff
Quote.

FakeWatchBusta calls himself “The Horological Batman," a vigilante out there policing these internet streets keeping everyone safe from the scourge that is fake high-end timepieces (“Horology” = the study of watches and keeping time; it comes from the same Greek word from which we get “hour.”) Armed with only an eye for detail and a smartphone, FWB puts anyone flossing a replica watch on blast. He’s had his accounts canceled, legal threats, and a lot of pissed off ballers, but he will not be stopped!

 Thanks also for explaining what horology means. No doubt some get wrong ideas.
