huge thanks clockboy, i have one that seems to of sprung into life after a tad of quartz oil and a coil check and voltage check done, they do not tick like a normal quartz, this seems to tick every 20 SECS, so interested to see the specs etc. rogart63 has sent me a couple of replacements just in case i need them, so thanks to that fine gentleman for his help.

Hi It seems like the swatch group who own eta and several other brands have now closed the portal through which we mere mortals were able to access the tech sheets and are now only available to customers purchasing their products, probably in great numbers.

They have the most of the tech shhets still online, but some of them which have been obselete for quite a time is taken away.

Up in the left corner you just choose if you want the quartz or the mechanical tech sheets.

The 579.002 is one of those movements that is no longer supported and it was replaced with the ETA 902.002.

Thanks for all the info guys, I thought it was just me being unable to access them but I guess the big boys at the swatch group have had a feet stamping moment.

    • This conversation is becoming a very confusing. The etachron system is a very nice system for manufacturing watches. As you know it consists of two components the stud and the regulator pins. Beautiful thing of this system is you can open up your regulator pins center the hairspring and as you close the pins they will close equally on both sides providing you centered it in the first place. It's not like you're going to become closer to one side or the other as the definition of the regulator pins is a bit confusing it's not exactly a slot sort of. I'm thinking maybe a little eight reading will be helpful for you. Then the file name was changed by me at the US patent but the wording of Seiko may or may not actually be attached to it soared up? I just did that so I can find it in my files. Normally patents are in people's name if they work for a company the company name will be there you'll notice the person lives in Japan which is interesting as the name would imply that this is a Swiss product. Somewhere I think I have the patents for the stud and I believe that is Swiss like a lot of things their Japanese and Swiss and then the Japanese let the Swiss name stand as it seems you more popular in case as you read up on the patents of the regulator pins or pin will see and it should explain exactly how and why it works also why it's important to always close at an open in specific directions because the pins actually have a shaped to them it's very hard to see the shape as it's very tiny.   As a reminder with this system it's mass-produced. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use cameras and computers to do all of the adjustments.  The meaning of this is that the majority of watches will function as there supposed to and do what they're supposed to do the system will allow us for some minor in tolerance and has more than likely as I said no human hand is ever touched those watches that's the way they left the factory and they work fine.

    • These still seem stupid expensive for a bottle, but still £100 cheaper than than the Moebius ones. Anyone have any experience of these: https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/epilame-fixodrop-special-bottle-horotec
    • Yes, this is not a basic part. Here are some pictures of making one  
    • I bought an old Bergeon 5555. The bottom of the tank was full of petrified salts, which also corroded the metal parts a bit. I would use just distilled water. 
    • Can anyone help me identify this watch/pendant. It was inherited by me from my grandmother and I am unsure as to what it is. It's a watch/necklace with a blue face with the inscription "INGERSOLL" and "Swiss Made". Have tried looking online but to no avail. If anyone knows a make/model or knows where I might be able to find out about it, that would be very helpful.
