Movement Photo Database Links

[Marrick]

This post consolidates links previously posted by Chascomm, Kingmatic, and me in order to tidy up and centralise the information. If you find any further link please post it as a reply to this. I will then incorporate it into this post and delete yours in order to keep the information in one place.

Here are some on-line resources that may be useful for identifying the movement in your watch:
