I have finally found one thanks to FinerTimes but have a few questions I'm hoping someone out there can help me with: * Where should I look to buy or even download an instruction book? *Is it true I have to change the date by going through the days 24 hours at a time? I can't seem to find an intermediate position for the crown to move just the date. * Is there any way to change the relationship between the 24 Hour rotating dial and the 'normal' face of the watch? Currently there seems to be a 2 Hour offset. When the face of the clock is saying 12, the 12 or 24 is two hours offset from the 12 position. Thanks in advance for any help | ||

1- I don't know. 2- It is unlikely the watch is a modern "quick set". On some of the older watches, you can change the date but moving backwards and forwards from 10PM to 2AM repeatedly. 3-I don't now on that one, does the bezel rotate at all? Generally speaking when you have a 24 hr scale like that, it is to track a second time zone. | ||

Thanks Zaf. I think I've worked it out: It's been taken apart sometime for repair and the relationship between the date, the 24 Hour dial and the main dial haven't been taken into account when putting it back together. I'm going to take it to my watchmaker and have him put them in the right place. When they are, the 12 position on the normal face will line up with the same time on the 24 hour face that the normal hands are displaying. If, on the rotating bezel, the current city you're in (and for which the normal hands are displaying the local time) is also lined up to the 12 position, the correct time in all the time-zones of the world will be displayed by the 24 hour dial against the rotating bezel. Complex to write but oh so simple and elegant to use. I'd still like an instruction book if anyone knows where to get one. |
