    I haven’t seen an easy to follow explanation of this procedure anywhere on the webs, I believe it applies to all Tri-Compax references. Get your toothpicks ready…

    1. Advance hands using crown until the day of the week is set / set the time to 4AM to avoid damaging the movement during the following adjustments.
    2. Set the date using the pusher at 8:00
    3. Set the month using the pusher at 10:15
    4. Set the moon phase using the pusher at 9:15
    5. Set the time using the crown

    Mods…Would be a good sticky in the UG Sub Forum…I was helping a new member evaluate a watch via PM the other day and as all my watches are in the bank, I couldn’t remember what the 8:00 pusher did.
