Can anyone see any obvious parts missing from this movement? I believe it is a Venus 152. I am considering buying it as a donor for an incomplete Venus 178. My 178 is missing most (or all) of its chrono parts.

Edit - photos are up. First is the potential donor, then my stripped V178:

Apologies...working on it. Some issue with photobucket right now. I will update with photos when photobucket allows it.

Yes, being widely discussed across many forums.

It's a weird issue with photobucket where I can still upload photos and view them in my account, but it will not generate a ULR to embed the photos. There was a tiny window last night where it worked. I haven't check today.


Regarding my original post, my other question/concern is whether the age of the movement matters. For example, my V178 is from the early 1950's, while the potential donor movement appears to be about a decade older. Will that create any issues with the chrono parts fitting and working? I assume not, but figure I should ask!
