Here's mine on a brown lizard strap. Makes my fingers sore to change the date although I do have a crown turning tool, which helps. Turning the crown in either direction moves the date backwards or forwards, so maximum date change need only be 16 days. Love the blue date. Lume is a bit radioactive to wear for too long. Wonderful bevelled case design and if it was 36 to 38mm instead of 34mm, would be a modern watch to wear. Still a very good time-keeper. The crystal has an inverted Cyclops, which leaves the exterior smooth.

if need to to get to the correct date?? No damage to the movement to do this? I've always been somewhat afraid to move it backwards so I never did.
What a killer watch!

That sharp bevelling on the side case still intact! Cool bracelet as well...! And that minute marker in v's is pretty fun to watch (pun not intended)! 😄 I'm interested to have a gyromatic in my collection, but seems pretty hard to find here in the neighbo...
Just gorgeous!
