Citizen CO22 arrived

[Paul]

I posted a picture of this CO22 in the what’s in the mail last week, well came in yesterday and overall it was in great cosmetic condition.
I had a donor for the missing and damaged parts.
I replaced the main plate that holds the stem and the gear train for the hands, swapped the hands over, cleaned and rebuilt the rest of the movement added fresh batteries and it fired up, result.
I inserted the movement and and was about to screw the back on and decided to check the pushers lucky because the circlips had been removed? (Used the clips from the donor)
It’s running a bit slow ( 5 mins over last 18 hours)so I will make a small adjustment later and try to get it running accurately.

No back light on the digital display, I guess Citizen relied on the lume on the hands to see the time in the dark.
