I’m restoring a Seiko dress watch with a date indicator from the 1970s. The reference number is 7005-2000.
The watch is severely damaged. A lot of parts are missing.
I bought the watch on eBay long ago for parts and have never opened it before.
I thought it is maybe possible to give it a second life. So here we are. Let's see what we can do.

Hope you enjoy the restoration 😊
