I think that we in the UK and The USA, Canada Australia and NZ,  enjoy quite unlimited access to the internet and are free to surf almost anywhere and do not appreciate there are countries where this is not possible to the same degree.  If members with restricted access are unable to find or unable to get tech sheets,  the answer is to post the request on the site, That way members like myself and others who are free to roam will have a look on their behalf and post if found or able to supply,  After all the site ethos is to provide help to others, this is not restricted to answering technical problems, putting forward ideas etc but encompasses all aspects apertaining to the Horological world which we inhabit either as Professionals, Amateur or Hobbyists and collectors.

So those with restricted access just post and we will do our best.

Good to worry about other people Internet restrictions but let's have a look about the countries that, for example, restrict G suite of which drive is a component:

G Suite is available in most countries and regions.|
However, Google restricts access to some of its business services in certain countries or regions, such as China, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.

While I feel for people in the countries above not enjoying freedom, let aside full Internet, I do not think that at this time anyone is having a real problem about missing watch technical documents.

Google drive has to be down loaded to you PC as a programme and this then allows you to access the cloud.  

Actually it is not so. When using a desktop system, like a PC or Mac, Google suite (cloud) is accessible without installing anything, as it's completely web based and that is actually one of its strongest advantage. To an extent the same can be done from a mobile device, however to increase ease of access Google has developed specific apps for Android and Apple devices, and that is the recommended access method.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      I'm a little confused here before servicing everything was fine and now it's not? Then I'm assuming if you run it without the chronograph modular runs just fine or does it give you problems then? Then as far as tightening goes I've occasionally seen people use a staking set and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. You can also disassemble and flip it over that sometimes works. Otherwise try eBay and maybe one will come up. There is a tiny possibility if the Problem is on the gear part and not on the center tube that you could purchase a shorter version and pop it on your longer version that's a speculation on my part that may be that might work but if the tube itself is worn then you're going to have a problem then it's back to eBay and just try to find one in the first place all sorts of things will show up on eBay sooner or later.

      Gruen 330 balance complete

      Why do you need a whole balance assembly (balance complete)? Staffs are readily available and cheap.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Righty ho, I re-serviced the chrono module and got a reasonable result with minimal loss of amplitude when not running the chrono and about 30 degrees loss when running. Great. The problem is now that the chrono (and movement) stops running after about a minute or so, a tap on the watch starts it running again. No issues with the movement running when the chrono is stopped. Going to service it yet again, obviously some residual issues with friction in the chrono module (Very frustrating - I wish there was some way of testing it as I go!) I also seem to have a problem with the cannon pinion where the movement is running continuously (with the chrono stopped) but it's losing significant time / stopping. This is one of those two piece ETA style with a driving wheel pressed over the cannon pinion, obviously arranged for driving the chrono module. I had no issues with this prior to service and just added a small amount of grease between the driving wheel and the centre cannon pinion as the technical guide required. What's the best way of tightening these up? I would like to replace it but I guess this is going to be hard to find as it is dedicated to the DD chrono movement.

      Chinese tools debate

      He uses the micrometer cap, but he leaves the spring out (you can see that in the video). If you leave the spring in, the spindle will move up as well (as shown by @Knebo).
