Thank you so much for this but may I please ask, is there copyright on this? We don’t want to have problems down the line. 

I would be very disappointed if this were copyrighted information. This is information we should all have access to and can be vital to our profession/hobby. Collecting publicly available information and then assembling it into a concise document should, In my humble opinion, be something that shouldn't be copy-writable. I understand the concerns over whether it is copywrited, and agree with that concern, but in my heart and soul, I hope it isn't. Ok, I'm stepping off my soap box now.... carry on!

Hi  As a member of the TZ site we have access to all such information.    its in the public domain and no mention of copywrite.   Usually anything that is copy write protected is headed with the heading  That it i. is or is is not able to be down loaded for that reason. It is in read only format.  If it had been documented as copy write protected I would have not put it on the site.

I am no legal expert but I believe that once an author leaves his work for 13 years in electronic form on public website where anyone can download, print or otherwise distribute it, there is little chances he can threaten if is re-hosted with full disclaimers about the provenience. In fact, this one is also hosted on a bunch of other watchmaking, or PDF archives.
I believe it would be a bit different would be if one was to use an illustration or text portion in own work without permission.

Hi Guys  Flwatchguy,  No you did right to question it its all to easy to cock it up. Checkout Kirk Fassbenders  project on dialfoot soldering machines they are all read only and will not allow down loads although  I have seen some of his stuff up for grabs.   If anything mentions copy write I read it and leave it.  By the way  Keep the soapbox you might need it again some day.    This is a brilliant site with equally brilliant contributers covering a multitude  of watches, clocks and things in between, long may it continue. there I have got off my soapbox now           all the best  and thanks for policing the content.:geek:

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
