Vintage Seiko 5 wristwatch, Cal 4206B Complete the reassembling.
Today I completed the reassembly of the 1981 Seiko 5 calibre 4206D Case no; 0500 Serial number 167431 Women's wristwatch.
This is the smallest mechanical watch movement I have worked on so far, being smaller than a “Twenty Pence” piece coin!

Placed movement on the timing machine and readings are good. Will let the movement run a few days to settle down, then I will regulate it.
