    Boy, do I hate this time!

    What do y'all do, re-set your auto's/electrics, or just leave them coz they'll be spot on in six months time :D

    Thank God, I don't have the problem because:
    A. We don't have EODS
    B. I don't set my watch date unless I plan to wear it more than 2 days

    Yeah, it's been a pain in the arse this morning - especially after half-waking up, seeing the time on the mobile, re-setting it because it must have got out of sync somehow, mustn't it, realising it's daylight-saving time again. Then re-setting 8 clocks because they're all hanging or sitting on display and so must show the time roughly correct, then starting on the watches. At least with them you've only got to correct the couple you are or might be currently wearing or rotating. The rest can stay stopped! Coffee time.

    There's only 2, 3, or 4 watches on the winder so it isn't that hard to change the time or the date when necessary.

    It's harder to get ME adjusted to the time change than my watches :)

    Guys, you scared me to death! I called my work to see if we already started the standard time (PST here on the West Coast Canada), but my coworker said it would be sometime in November.

    Good, I am safe . . .

    I'm actually glad Queensland doesn't have DST, its a massive pain in my industry and invariably causes issues every year in some way or another :(

    I never auto-wind anything any more... used to do it with the triple date moon phases, but now I lean toward sparing them the wear and tear on the escapement, and just carefully reset when necessary.
