hi thuir, thanks very much for your imformation ,this is exactly the book i need, when ive tried to id the staff i need, it seems to bring me to the friction staffs , as you said; 4860/4861 the staff i removed was not a friction fit? do you think that maybe the friction staff are the replacement of the old one, maybe updated? once again thanks for your valuable help paulos

hi guys, could anyone help me with the correct staff i need, this is the biggest hurdle for me so far, identifying staffs , waltham, 16s, 17jewel, estimated year 1908, model 1908, grade 625, breguet balance spring, micrometer regulator so far im led to friction fit staff, but this is definatley not. i wondered if waltham had a book listing grades and model numbers? appreciate your input and knowledge on this subject cheers all paulos
