Just finished the partial rebuild of a tatty gold plated Seiko 5 Sports. Serial number dates it to April 1964..

I battled for hours trying to successfully fit the 2 minute date wheel springs. Numerous hunting with a magnet after they pinged off in all directions (even working covered with clingfilm).

Now up and running at +8 secs/d face up.

The real killer is that, as a 6606 movement, there is no quickset for the day or date. Thank god for Youtube where there is a single video that explains the best way to set this up.

Not doing one of these again !!!
