Hello my friends,

Please do you know the Staff balance indicated to my Waltham?

Thanks

It looks like it's a 12s 1894 model in grade 225. My book shows it as a 7 jewel, your image looks like it may have jewels at the escape-wheel, raising the count to 9J.

And it appears that the staff would depend on whether or not it has a friction fit or riveted staff. If old-style riveted, you need an 8142. If it's friction-fit, it looks like an 8143.

BTW, you can look this information up on the pocketwatchdatabase.com website, where they have a serial number look-up for grade establishment, and various Waltham parts books that should give you the part number for the grade, etc. That way you can get the information closer to as you need it. Cheers.

It's actually a 16-size model 1908. The correct staff is the friction #4861.

Yes, Dave is correct. I read the line below it. Dang old eyes. Good luck.
