Hi all,
Another newbie question...
Is there a quick way to set the date for these caliber movements?

 

LMAO, is that standing on one leg or two? I was afraid of that.

 

They do. Manually winding clockwise completely for a 24 hr period. Just hope for something easier.

 

those calibers have the quick set option just wind the watch until the date changes, stop wind it backwards until you see the date try to change but can't. Then wind forward. Repeat until the correct date is shown.

 

You are correct Thanks!

 

Thanks, that does help

 

The quick set feature is a must for a mechanical watch. I have the old bumper with the date at 6 o'clock. I don't even bother setting that.

 

I spent time winding hour by hour, my old fingers are cramped. Don't think I'll do that again, anytime soon

 

I think it is good to own about a dozen or so with dates and just wear whichever is closest to the correct date.

 

as a community service for the forum I would like to offer my services in setting the dates. just mail me your watches and I will get them all tuned up right away.

 

I like that plan.

 

In other news, a small website was sued today by the entire watch industry.....

You and alam better stop trying to horn in on my "free services".

Besides, you two are amateurs. I just got Steve / cicondela to send me his 18ct mint IWC caliber 89 under the guise of needing it for a photo shoot. Nobody finagles watches better than me.

Oooops, did I just type that out loud?

 

Excellent, let me find that darn drill. Last time I used it I think I was about to open a can of...(fill in the blank).

Thanks for sharing
