Well in the back of one of my draws,i Found a slim sekonda  pocket watch, Reketa 2209.
Not too sure why I decided to fix it up,other than the fact that it wasn't working.
Needed a mainspring or so I thought, hmmm teeth missing on the barrel, fixed that and then I found that the second wheel also had teeth missing.
When I tried to get the second wheel  I thought iwas going mad, no 2nd wheel listed, turns out it's listed as a intermediate wheel or a transmission wheel.
Well I got it working now, it's not one I would normally do but, well a  change is as good as a rest.
I had a look on the internet to see what was said about the movement , turns out that people don't like working on it because it has five wheels 
Under the plate, what a lot of rubbish, I managed it after 2 pints of Stella, and it's running like a dream.

I thought I have a 1/2 decent picture of the dial but I can't find one, but to look at the dial it looks like any other sekonda watch.
