De Bethune DB17
Hi all
My DB 17 does not automatically change the date from 28to 1st today. It only change from 28 to 29. But when i wind to change the date, it automatically jumps to 1st .... I thought a perpetual calender watch will take care of this problem ? What could be wrong ?
cheers, cheng

a perpetual will function like a annual calender ? anyone else facing the same problem ?
My best guess...
Is that the watch "thinks" it is a leap year rather than a regular year, and therefore inserted the 29th. If so, you will need to adjust the watch forward by 2 years to get it back to the right point in the 4-year cycle. What you saw (29th jumping to 1st)...
Thanks Gary !
that's exactly what I wanted to explain this morning... Can't do best...
Got it...
Thanks guys for clarifying ..... appreciate it how can i do that adjustment ? or do i have to get the AD to do it ?
to adjust...
the leap year indication is integrated into the sky under the moon on your watch ! You can normally change it, correcting the months ! 2 full circle of months (24 months-2years)
