Actually yesterday I had to return it for warranty repair or replacement.
It seems either the dial is wrongly printed (indexes at wrong position) or the minute pointer has an issue. The result is that when I set the watch at exactly x:00 hrs and then check after each 5mins (with an atomic clock) the pointer is never over the 5mins index (a 1-30secs before or after). One can check exactly as the minute pointer serves a seconds pointer also.
Apart from this the time is difficult to set as when one sets the minute pointer and then pushes the crown in the pointer has a lag before it starts moving (checkable easily after one minute passes and it should supposedly again be over the index.)
Most annoying.

Was not planned at all but after trying this yesterday at the AD and getting a good price (๐Ÿ˜) I couldnโ€™t resist. Nicolas, you were right, the FF NDC wasnโ€™t the last ๐Ÿ˜Ž But this is it for the next time until I sell some. ...  

That is one sharp looking watch!

Straddles modern and vintage very well, and a much more reasonable size than the FFs. Cheers, John

thx
