Hello from a new member

[aoleite]

Hello guys,

I decided to join the forum because my small watch collection is growing. As it does, I am facing new challenges and I hope to learn from you. I do not have any technical background on watch repair, but that wasn't really a problem while I had access to a trusted watchmaker who would assist me with my crazy ideas projects. But for a few years I have been an expatriate, and so far I haven't found a professional I can trust where I currently live.

My current headache restoration project is the Waltham you can see in the pictures below. I was told its movement is missing pieces, and I intend to purchase a new movement for it. My current problem: I do not know what movement to look for. Behind what seems to be the escapement, there are very small numbers I couldn't read properly. All I could discern was the last line "1908". 

I sincerely appreciate any help.

Best regards,

Andy
