Icon17 Small ladies watch movement

Hi folks,

Today I worked on a rather small watch movement, I made some pictures through the process of disassembling and assembling.

Here's the ST69 movement compared to a 6497.



ST69 completely disassebled.



Getting it back together, starting with the gear train and mainspring.



And here it's back in business




Thanks for watching
