This is a Seiko 7025-5000 that I bought from a watch fair here in the U.K for £20.00 in 2019. There was no bracelet but it looked absolutely mint so I could not resist. It would not run though and even at the fair I took the caseback off to look and it all looked very clean. Once home though I had to investigate further. I removed the automatic framework and train wheel bridge to find the second reduction wheel was missing, this would explain why the rotor was not winding the spring. However I noticed that it was also missing the escape wheel. Clearly someone had been in this watch to scavenge parts from it. Luckily I had a donor that I coudl also harvest parts from to get this one back up and running.
