Question Dear Purists - February Date Setting
Feb 07, 2020,04:48 AM
Do any of you just set your date wheel 2-3 days ahead now, in preparation for February’s shorter month, to keep your date wheel aligned for March?
Or just let it roll??
The only watch I wouldn’t touch the date for was the AP 15202, because the movement was so fragile. The crown came out once when I was setting the time, then it was sent to AP which they serviced but scratched up.
This is where Lange has a big advantage with the outsize date.
