You may or may not have found the best solution. If you find it runs erratically (as in stops), when you see it not telling time, listen for the hum again. If it is humming, you are likely going to have to have it serviced. If it ISN’T humming, you will need a circuit, and a servicing. I hope it runs for you. Better start looking for someone who can service it. Very few shops will touch Accutrons.
Setting the day and date is easy.Advance the hands until the correct day shows. THEN, set the watch to time. AM or PM! Press the knob into the run position, the twist the knob until it “clicks”. The date will advance. Repeat this action until you have the correct date. Then BACK THE KNOB UP about two turns.
