Hi there,

I just bought a beautifull Constellation 168.016 day/date. I'm just puzzled how to adjust the day and the date. And I'm unable to find an old manual. Can anyone help me out?

Cheers, Dick

That's what I initially thought, but the crown only has one position :-(

If you can't pull the crown to what will essentially will feel like a pump action turning the date, then the quick set date part might be broken

Day is not quick set, but normally the date could be

Thanks! I'll contact the seller tomorrow. They are a well known seller of vintage watches in the Netherlands, so they should be able to help me out.

You're welcome, also as a bit of a statistical insight, around 20% of vintage watches have a day/date issue, usually the date turner could fail or jam, which is worse than this issue. If you were daily using this watch, it's only an end of the month issue on some months

Its probably cal 751. Pull crown all way out then back in, which changes the date. Day is not quick set
