26120...
Mark,
The 26120 does not have a quickset date. The first position pulled out on the crown is for adjusting the 2nd time zone, second position for time adjusting.
Date adjusting is by passing 12 for the date change, and turning back to about 9 with the hr hand (ie 3 hours back) at which point there is a tiny but visible 'jump' back and fwd of the date hand, and then re-cycling fwd to 12 midnite. This can obviously be a little time-consuming if you need to advance 3 weeks, but I guess the original layout makes it difficult or impossible to incorporate a quickset. Base movement is the 2229 (JLC), Dual-time module 2846 (also JLC)
Hope this helps.
Good luck with your decision-making and purchase!
Rob
26120 thoughts?
just tried on the 15300 and like the watch and would get it in blue as i have a rolex date just that has such a similar feel. the fact that its so plain of a watch what would thoughts be comparing the 15300 to the 26120? i wouldnt use the dual time featur...
26120 vs 15300
my dilimma is that i have an iwc portuguese 7 day and a rolex datejust (white face) and i plan to get the JLC ultra thin 38mm so my worry in building my collection is the 15300 (in blue) will be very similar to the datejust without having additional featu...
If you have doubts about the 15300...
...and whether or not it will be a redundant addition to your collection then I wouldn't purchase it. I can't really speak to why watches are priced as they are, so have no real basis to answer your Rolex/AP question. My best guess is that some of that pr...
well said
the RO is all about steel and how light plays upon it...... a classic piece that will remain relevant. But should you remain hesitant, then i'd postpone a purchase, A prospective purchase should sing to you.... J
Both are nice pieces...
If you want something that does more than tell time the 26120 is a great choice. I initially considered one, feeling that I already have several time only watches from Rolex. The only down side to it, as was pointed out to me when I started to consider th...
quickset date feature?
Which of these watches have the quickset date feature and which don't? I actually did not know any of these didnt have the feature as from what i've heard its a big pain to change dates without the feature. 15202 15300 26120 26300 thanks! Mark
Quickset...not positive about the chronograph
Hi, The 15202 and 26120 definitely do not have a quickset function for the date. The 15300 does have a quickset function. I am not positive about the chronograph 26300. I have a 38mm Cartier Pasha chronograph which uses the same base movement (F.Piguet 11...
setting a watch with no quicket date feature
so i've narrowed the search to the 15300 and the 21620 but my big concern is how do you set the 21620 without the quickset date feature? thanks in advance for your help or direction to a place to learn about this. mark
Setting the date...
I have not tried setting the date on this model, but I think advancing the date is the same as on the old 36mm RO which had a subdial for day and date, whereby you can advance the date by adjusting the hands to go back and forth between 10 pm and 2pm repe...

POV
I'm someone who has to be on a plane pretty frequently so I have several "travel" watches that all adjust for different time zones. From a purely practical standpoint the 26120 is not a good travel watch. The main dial should be "local" time and the small...
15300 Bug Agreed
I think I have made up my mind on the 15300 but yes the bigger question is blue or white dial? i love the blue and white dials and i was originally leaning towards a blue dial to separate it from my white dial rolex date just but then when i think my mind...
15300
I don't think switching from the bracelet to the strap is a do it yourself job. I think you'd have to bring it to a dealer/service center. Best regards, Dino
Think carefully
I think if you want to switch back and forth between bracelet and strap, the blue dial may be a little bit restrictive. I chose the blue dial (search for pics below) because I have other combinations available. If I wanted more flexibility I would have go...
