Urgent help needed for a Astrolabium Galilei Galileo
Is there someone who knows if you can change the settings for the latitude and longitude of a UN Astrolabium Galilei Galileo ?
For example: when I move from New York to Paris.
Can you do it yourself, can an AD do it or did the watch go back to UN factory ?
TX for your good advice

No need for any serious modification ...

Thanks for your advice
it helps me a lot. The way you said it, is for me (as a newabee) easy to understand. Peter
