Annual calendar adjustment question
Hi all — I just bought a 5960 last year and need to make that annual day-of-the-week adjustment now that February has passed. Here’s the relevant

Not sure about any shortcuts. Better follow the instructions. I do the same on mine as a false manipulation
can end badly and very costly.
this may help
ANNUAL CALENDAR The Annual Calendar indicates the day of the week, the month, and the date, automatically taking into account months with 30 and 31 days. If the watch is worn daily, the date only needs to be corrected on March 1 (forward by 3 days in non-...
Just correct the date
You just have to correct the date from 30 to 1, the month changes. The insteuctions are very complicated and just for a complete new setting. Switching to 1 shall just prevent jumping the month to the next month if for example the date is on 25 and you fo...
