Showed my mate my PO 42 with a 4813 movement and told him every bit as good as the gen for a fraction of the price.

Took it off to show him the weight of it (compared to his thin quartz) and he says the date is wrong.

Big embarrassment - he told me the date was wrong - now telling everyone how proud I am of my rep and the date doesn't work

I have since discovered that on my watch of you change the date by the quickset (as i did for November) it doesn't turn around afterwards.

I have to change it by rotating the hour hand.

Morale: Get an ETA clone movement next time. Nothing more embarrassing than being called out on a 4813,

maybe you just broke it using the quickset at the wrong time of day...can happen with asian/swiss/japan/russian etc movements

how'd you not know the date was wrong anyways?
