Useful tool from AliExpress

[HectorLooi]

I recently got these jewel counting trays from AliExpress for sorting out the different types of jewels from a bag of assorted jewels from India. 

But I found another use for them. When I disassemble a watch, I usually place them together as a group in my parts organizer tray. Transfering the parts one by one over to the organizer is sometimes a adventure as many a slip can happen along the way. Now I just place this beside the movement, on the microscope table and put the parts durectly in them. When all the parts from the group are in the tray, I just bring it over to my organizer and tip the parts in.

And if you need to photograph the parts from an unfamiliar movement, it offers a nice white background for the shot. (Can anyone recognize where this balance comes from?)

But if you drop the whole tray along the way, then....
