    Quite a few for sale out there, showing some variations in the dials, kind of a surprise for such a simple watch.

    The ink looks a little too thick on some of those watches.

    These are very handsome divers ... here are a few pictures of mine (on a shark skin strap) to help with dial match.

    I'm guessing yours does not have the (push) quick set date?

    Yes, it does not or I may not be doing it right. I've read about pressing the crown at 4 to quick change the date but the crown has only 2 positions - position 1 to wind (and does not push in to quick set the date) and position 2 to set the time (and date).

    Rman, thanks for your question. I did a little more research and found this reference on the C11KAS movement. It's a great reference to check on other watch movements.

    My Wittnauer SC Diver was serviced in 2013 so it should work as spec'd. Quick set date function works by changing the crown at 4 from 19:30 to 24:00 ... and it works beautifully!

    Indeed.
    What I was referring to was a reference of this model where the four o'clock crown advances the day when pushed--- like a chronograph pusher.
