Thanks to George, my tutor, I got hold of a whole stack of technical instructions. Half of them are Omega, and the other half a mixture of Swiss manufacturers, such as ESA, ETA, Le Landeron, Venus, etc.
I could of course flog pdfs of the lot on eBay, but I think information like this should be as widely shared as possible, so I will start posting them here.
First, the Omega stuff:
Repairing Omega self-winding watches (bumper)
Omega – The monocoque case for the new Seamaster
Omega have adopted the screwless balance
And then the non-Omega – some quite interesting stuff in here, too:
I hope you will find these useful – I surely do!
Very kind of you to upload these, I was having a hard time finding the service manual for the Venus 188 so I greatly appreciate the resource.
Hello.
I would like to strip down and repair my omega 601. Are there any manuals for this
Thank you
I’m afraid I don’t have one.
Hi Christian, you don’t happen to have a service booklet for an omega cal 601 or advice on lubrication. Thanks chris
This is totally standard. Just oil as any other movement.
Thank you for the Landeron 48/148 docs!

Thank you so much!! This is a goldmine! 😀
Do you know if they made any technical instructions for Venus Cal 200 or at least a parts list for them? Thanks for your time.
I don’t have one, but have you tried cousinsuk.com?
yeah, I am on there right now looking again but cant find one yet
hi , can you help me with sheets for eta 2892a2 chronograph ? thanks
Do you mean the Omega 1140? It’s under the Omega section.

Thank you very much!
Bogdan

Greetings from Berlin
Thanks for the ETA 1256 manual. It helped me a lot.
Many thanks. Very useful
Bravo! Many thanks.
Many thanks – very useful.
Thank you very much for these. This contributes greatly continuing the art and science of watchmaking and repair.
These are simply wonderful. Thanks for the post. I was worried you had suddenly run out of watches, as it has been nearly a week 😉
Nice… also useful links for ETA stuff;
