The issue with the date is
That you have to love the hour hand backward and forward between 10 PM and 3 AM to change the date.
Is the current date is 10, and that the date on your watch is 11, you will have to do it 30 times before setting the date correctly. FASTIDIOUS!

AMVOX I in all "flavors" [question on case thickness]
I am very much hoping Nicolas will chime in on this one, so will try to keep it short and organized. Since my early days as watch nut, the Polaris has been my ultimo primo grail. Not long ago, I finally managed to try one on my wrist - the original Polari...
Don’t remember the thickness…
But all 42mm Polaris like watches is quite thick. Except for the AMVOX I you also have the Master Compressor Memovox. Here is a link to a comparison post I wrote some years ago: jlc.watchprosite.com As for SS vs TI its a matter of taste. I pers...
Here are sme answers, Tom.
1/ The thickness of the Amvox I is 15 mm. So, 2, 5 mm thinner compared to the TT Polaris, because of the plexy, on this mast one, which is really huge. 2/ No. 3/ Yes, it is still the case. 4/ The Amvox I, in stainless steel or in titanium is to me, the wa...
Thank you, Blomman and Nicolas! What's up with the date though?
Gents, Thank you for the quick and razor sharp replies; the review on AMI vs MCM was intriguing but still left me desiring an Amovox more. Somehow, the crown at 10 is astray in my eyes. Quick follow-up; both articles of Nicolas and Blomman suggest the dat...

Sounds *exactly* like my Nomos (cal. Zeta)
Instead of rocking it back and forth, I usually just go forward until I set it up. Lately just check at what date it has stopped, once not in rotation and usually put it back on the wrist a day before the date it stopped. Thus, only moving it a day. Shoul...
It's an old style setting ...
You need to pass the 2 AM mark, to advance the date, and then move back to 10 PM in order to restart the process. Repeat N times to advance the date N days. My impression is that this is not a big deal and it allows you to have an excuse to play more with...
Oh, I am tuned, alright...
Guessing you will take the weekend to capture the beauties? Kudos for posting when ready
Looking forward to a photo set, my friend
Your photos are always stunning, and with a subject like the AMVOX 1, you can't go wrong. Best, respo
