    Hi all,
    This may seam a obvious question to the experts but I'm new and need a bit of advice, thank you for your replies in advance :)

    So I go abroad and move my hour hand forward 2 hours all fine, when I come home I need to advance it 10 hours to re-set the correct time the dealer told me never to turn the hands backwards. So now the date is wrong do I need to move the date on by 30 odd days i.e. around 60, 12 hour turns, the answer is probably yes but wanted to check appears a strange method?

    Would think it would have a quickset date adjust. Check manual out as usually first position off pulling out crown is date set. Don't have many modern watches that don't have quickset date ( don't own any modern Omega,s with date thou)

    Was going to say that sounded odd, never heard the hands backward thing...and even if, as said above, there is a quickset date on this.
