I genuinely think I'm starting to lose my grip on reality ... what sort of fool sits in front of a computer screen on a Friday evening looking at photographs of watch movements when there's a pie and a pint waiting?

-'m trying to work out what this movement is:



I *think* it's this one: http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?12&ranfft&2&2uswk&Alpina_827SS which is a Rolex 710 by Aegler ... just with a slightly different bridge. The movement in the watch dates to around 1927 while Dr. Ranfft's example is from 1950. The other problem is the size - I measure the movement at 27.55mm which would be over 12"'.

(I'm starting to lose the will to live ... help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope).

 

Did you try the movement search feature?

 

Did I? I still am ... and that pint's still not poured

 

Decimal point problem. 27.55mm more like 1.2 inches...

 

Ligne, not inches
