Canon with FE 4612a movement. Day and Date display

Trying something new. Although is will take some time for me to start, I have a back injury that is very painful and so cannot concentrate. Set myself a target to begin mid May.

Purchased a Canon wrist watch with  FE 4612a movement. Advertised with Rotor missing. Arrived, took photographs. Strap broken, removed and place in bin. Back removed. No rotor. Wind is stiff. Can wind up. Everything moves ok. Oscillates for under a minute, then stops. No rotor but all wheels appear the be there. Have sent for a donor movement FE4612. No day wheel. 

I have taken basic photographs up to the point of service commencement. I will try a new format and use the record system on the microscope to show the full disassembly subsequent assembly. I will photograph the cleaning process. 

Whilst I have no intention beginning a YouTube channel, I would like to begin to make a better record of my work standard.

Work to do. 

Make case to a better standard. Repair crystal. Replace strap. 

Only a thought. I will try to insert an English day wheel. Not sure if it can be done, but hey, what can I lose.

Got to stop now, back so sore.
