technical point (and my PP perpetual)
Hi,
Just a question : should the crown be tuned clockwise or anti-clockwise to move the hour to the "future" (to advance the hands) ? On my 5159J.
Should the crown be in "setting" position when using the pushers ?
Thanks.

Very nice watch :)
I don't know for this one but for a 5712 I know it is usually clockwise (even if you can adjust a little bit anti-clockwise way if it's not around the date change zone, cf. booklet). You don't have to be on setting position to use the pushers. As said by ...
A stupendous wrist shot!
I aways wished this piece was a little bigger. Congrats and ENJOY!
