If you have the experience to be working on one of these then you shouldn't need any documents.

that's an interesting comment? For those that don't grasp what this watch is which was me up until a few seconds ago I have a link.

p.3000? 

this is a watch repair discussion group I don't suppose you have pictures? We love pictures of watches that people are going to or are thinking of servicing.

they have a interesting website and the cost of this watch is interesting? I assume because you're inquiring you must have one then yes we really love pictures the movement and will love pictures as you disassemble. Pictures are also handy when it comes time to reassemble. Then looking at the website looks like they make most of their own parts and they do offer servicing which means they probably do not sell spare parts. Then typically with in-house movements nobody has spare parts at all. Which means servicing becomes extremely problematic if you cannot replace any of the components at all including more than likely the mainspring.

then typically service manuals only exist if the manufacturer wants people to service their watch. Which typically only be in the old days because currently I don't think anyone wants us servicing their watch. which brings up the challenge today of purchasing spare parts if the watch companies don't want to sell us their spare parts.

this is the watch in question. yes. i plan on wanting to service this but wanted to see if anyone would have any service docs before i do so. I've worked on their OP XI already but that's just a basic 6497.

this is not in any way to sound harsh or dismissive, but this does look like a fairly straightforward movement, minus whatever that little crescent shaped cutout is to the left of the balance. No date, no automatic works. Looks easy enough, but its not my watch so I have no idea.

 

According to this, it has two mainspring barrels

what’s the likelihood anyone has service documents for the p.3000? 

if they wanted the world to service their watch and this watch is been out for nine years it seems like the technical documents spare parts availability should exist maybe you should email and ask them? In the meantime who needs technical document if you have a video of how to reassemble it. and lubrication should be pretty straightforward it doesn't look like anything complicated there.

    • By the way, I opened my watch, looked under a magnifying glass, there is simply no grease, the screws are without traces, the slots are intact.I think it's just a matter of maintenance.there are no rotor marks on the body. And to remove the strap from yours, just press on the 1st side,and slightly move the strap, then on the other side and it will come off.
    • Hi My name is Chris. Just started trying to learn about watch and clock repair as a result of repairing my fathers old 1890s police station clock (about a year ago). The clock was Ok, but having graduated to pocket watches and then wrist watches, despite the really excellent stuff on Youtube, I am struggling a bit.  As a retired engineer, I find the engineering exquisite, but a bit on the fiddly side.  I have done a few practice watches with a little success but failed a few, but have had success with Seiko 7005s, 7009s etc, but have just attempted a citizen 5430.  Nightmare.  My wife thought I had found religion as I spent so much time on my knees with my eyes to the floor looking for springs.  Got through that and found that the balance is shot.  Trying to source one or something that will fit from the citizen range has me totally perplexed.  Tried Ebay, Cousins etc without luck.  Any advice as to alternatives that will fit or alternative sources would be gratefully received.
    • Agreed, this is puzzling. Can you ask questions or inspect the lots before bidding? My Boley & Leinen Reform face plate is dia. 95mm exactly. It's possible that 4 inches is a slightly too large approximation, but why then make the distinction to 3 11/16 for the sake of 8mm? If the larger ones are truly 4" then they will clash with the bed, but then I have no idea which 8mm lathe would take them. All 8mm lathes have spindle height 50mm or less, as far as I know. The spindle height is, as you say, standard 50mm for W.W.
    • I have only been a member for six years & I have found this a very friendly forum although I don’t have anything to do with watches not because I don’t like watches but because I have gout in both hands so my dexterity isn’t very good, I restore torsion clocks & occasionally other antique clocks also at 72 my eyes are not what they used to be, that is why I only post on the clock forum & the lathe forum mostly . As others have said Mark it is much appreciated that  you are willing & able to do this. very many Thanks Dell
    • Ah, this is brilliant, thank you very much!
