I must admit that I set mine wrong!.

I have a DP and had to look in the manual as to how to set it, and must admit, I now find the way the manual is written to be wrong or at the least ambiguous. It has a chart in the back showing that 2011 is year 3 in the cycle. The manual then says to set the indicator to the year as per that table and then forward the month display until it shows the correct month. I did this and ended up with my year indicator between 3 and 4. Last night I happened to be up late, so was enjoying the prospect of the change from 28 to 01 etc, but it just changed to 29...very dissapointing indeed! I gathered I probably had set the year wrong, but its not the easiest thing to do when the indicator doesnt actually point at the number as such but somewhere inbetween, and anyway as I said I thought I had followed the instruction manual perfectly, obviously not

Anyway when I look back to some pics of my watch in july last year the year indicator was on the number 2, so I have now set mine by going back to that and forwarding on the relevant months from there to get to february and that puts the indicator between 2 and 3 , so now I will reset my watch as if its the 28th tonight and hopefully will see a transition through to the 1st march

Maybe its just me thats a bit thick, but I really do think the manual is badly worded on this.

Anyway nice post that has answered my question before I asked it!

cheers

Leap year indicator

We are in year 3 of the leap year cycle. Where should the leap year indicator point to on the Lange perpetual? Should it be between the 2 & 3 pictured here... Or between 3 & 4 ? Thanks in advance....

Between 3 and 4. [nt]

No message body

I would have guessed you would want the indicator...

between the 2 and the 3 - part way (2 months) into the "3"rd year of the leap year cycle. I think the indicator moves through the "3" quarter during the year. My best guess. So I would think it is OK.

Thanks!

Just to be clear then...

Yep I thought the same as rwk, should be midway between 3 and 4 as its approaching the 4th year in the cycle...and this is what I was led to believe from the manual. However it seems that as I have now adjusted mine, it should show currently between the 2...

the position of the number is mid year

By: ivanclai : March 2nd, 2011-00:11

the dial is misleading, the position of the number "3" is the MIDDLE of the year. The marker in front of the year is the beginning of the year, so the hand is pointing a little pass the markerm that is the beginning of the 3rd year which is correct. PP sh...

Yep

Ivanclai....thats what I was trying to say the indicator should point at the relevant year number when half way through that year, so in this year 2011, come june/july the indicator should be smack on the number 3 and then slowly migrate towards the 4 in ...
