1: Unscrew crown, and wind if needed 2: Pull crown to third position, and set time to 6:30 am or pm 3: Push the crown into second position and set the date to one day before your time 4: Pull the crown to third position, and do a 24 hour cycle so the date changes. Now set the time.

This is excellent advice on how to take good care of your mechanical watch. Those making comments saying this video is too long or you talk too much, seem to have the attention span of a bird. This video is not only straight to the point, but you also explain in detail why not to do certain things when changing the date and time on a mechanical watch. Good job.

Excellent advice. I remember changing the day and date on mine and then checked out the manual later. Luckily, I had changed the date during the safe period!! On not moving the hands backwards I had heard somewhere that you should go just a tiny amount past the correct time, maybe one tick and then move it back very slightly to the correct time. I personally don't do that but I always wondered why that advice was given. Maybe it related to old watch movements.

The easiest way that I remember is set to time adjust mode swing the hands around until the day/date or date fully changes (this means you are in the AM), set hands to 4:20, change day/date, adjust time, done... I dont know anyone who adjusts their time/day/date at 1-4 AM... i've had automatics for years and i have never had to adjust my watch between 1 and 4AM.

Thanks for posting, I recently got this watch only skxj007j Japan import model (basically the same in terms of function), all great points and some I did not fully understand until seeing your video :) One thing to add is how the crown screws back down, possibly confusing and disconcerting when first doing it. The manual does not cover very much. You press and hold the crown in while gently turning it upwards (with noon being up of course). I've heard it is possible to strip threads with too much force.

Can you roll back time 20 minutes without causing damage? I often need to set my watch 20 minutes fast during the day and back to regular time in the evening and was wondering if you can do it without going through the whole process. I know you definitely wouldn’t want to roll time backwards hours but wondering if only a few minutes is safe.

Yes, as long as you change the day or date ONLY if the time of the watch is outside the "no time/day/date change window"(usually 9pm to 4am). So for instance, I just changed my day/date to the Saturday 2nd, since it had said Saturday 1st after a 30 day month and the time of my watch was 12:15pm.

Good video. So, stupid question. Do you only need to do this if you don't wear it regularly and it sits for a while and thereby the movement "ran out"? As long as you're wearing it and your arm is moving, it stays "charged" or self-wound, right? Or am I confusing how this works?
