Finally received the watch
Jul 20, 2021,06:07 AM
It's surprising small

when I tried to "hack" the seconds hand while setting time initially, the watch was running consistently +15 seconds per day for 2 -3 days Just for the fun of it, I put it down, and let the power run down then I adjusted time without worrying about the se...

The caliber could definitively tell you the manufacture date. Without "hack" feature and in the 8888 case with that dial, you may have a cal 32A, one of the 662 manufactured in 1967. Ive attached a pic of my 8888 with 32A. I also have an 888 with 42.1 (al...
