After testing the watch was 6 seconds fast over a 24-hour period.
Service: This Watch was professionally serviced in September 2026 by my expert watchmaker and has photo evidence of this. Also, in the pictures you can see the results from the time graph machine.
First Pull crown out and move hands so the are both near the 7 position ( this is the safety zone )
(DANGER ZONE BETWEEN 9PM AND 3AM) Do not set the date or day when the hands are in this zone.
To Set the Date: Pull the crown out 1 click and roll clockwise. Don't set the date when the hands are close to midnight as it could damage the date function.
Do not roll the crown fast, always roll slowly and gently.
To Set the Time: Pull the crown out 2 clicks and roll the crown slowly to the time desired, softly push the crown back in and it will run.
