This Waltham wrist watch with a Swiss AS 1580 movement was not running due to the fact that the hairspring was tangled and that is also needed a servicing. The movement also needed a new stem and crown.


Waltham incabloc removed from case and ready for service. Dial not in the best shape



Movement with missing balance as I removed it while waiting for donor movement


Donor movement arrived, it's an Austin watch with an AS 1580 movement.

Next set of pictures is the process of me taking apart the movement so that I can clean it.
