A badly damaged dial on this movement which will have to be scrapped, I have spare dials to use as a replacement. Only two hands on this movement (Hour and Minute) removed. Dial removed from movement and measured (Dial Size: 42mm) and put in scrap box!

Dial Washer, Hour Hand, Minute Wheel and Cannon Pinion removed. Remove the badly dented dust ring then measure movement size (41mm) and Movement height (6.5mm).

Remove complete balance (Balance wheel, Hairspring, Balance Cock a Regulator), Remove Hairspring from Balance Wheel and check it.

Try to let down Mainspring, but winding stem will not move, so while keeping slight pressure on the stem I remove the Click, still no movement from mainspring Barrel! Remove Ratchet and Crown Wheels and then the Barrel Bridge. Pull out Barrel Arbor, on this model of Waltham the Mainspring end is attached to Barrel lid so Arbor just slides out. Now I remove the complete Barrel.

Try to move Train Wheels and cannot move them, Remove Pallet Bridge and Fork, try again and still no movement in train wheels!

Remove the Train Bridge, then the Train Wheels (Centre, Third, Second (Fourth) and Escape Wheels. Then remove the Keyless Work and setting lever.

Turn over Main Plate to remove the screw for the Winding Work, lift out the intermediate wheel and Winding Work drops out from Main Plate.

So the deconstruction is completed, so now to clean all the parts and check what faults to correct before assemble. (See assembly photograph album).
