    I usually set the date before (1 day behind) as long as the date isn't transitioning yet, and then spin the hands until it changes date and reaches the correct time

      @@ddotkaan I think so. It's my second Orient (aside from a Bambino) and I have a bunch of autos under $1,000, but I got this one as a work watch since it seemed tough, had everything I wanted, and if I busted it it's cheap to replace. I was unprepared for how great it felt on and how beautiful the dial is (red dial), the lume is very sensitive and way better than I expected. I took out a link and adjusted the quick adjustment pin and it is very comfortable. In fact, I haven't worn any of my other watches since I got this one! So yes, I think if you want a medium size sport watch that's automatic, I can't think of a watch that for the price is anywhere near as good. I bought a second one already in case something happens to this one so I have a backup!

    If you correct the date like this, you never know if the watch is set for AM of PM (and thus when the date changes over). I always change time until the date switches over, then I know it’s set at midnight. After that I move the time to around 6 AM to correct the date and then the time.

    • @emilchandran546
      @emilchandran546 Год назад +5

      In step 5 they say to set the day and date to the one before the current. Then, step 6, advance the time to the be correct on the next day (past midnight), so you know if it’s AM or PM.
      Your way works too and the way I do it. We first find AM / PM and then set date and time. He does the opposite.

      If it is analog, AKA has a day/day-date window and has hands, it's susceptible to the same thing.

  • @emilchandran546
    @emilchandran546 Год назад +1

    This way if the time is between 9-3 you have to advance, then set day date, then wind ahead 24h + to the correct time.
    If you instead advance the time past 12 first you will know if it is AM or PM by whether the date changes. You can set the time before the date this way. (as long as it isn’t between 9PM and 3AM, and I never have to set the day or date at those hours).
    This saves the extra step of going forward to the next day to set the time. Say you pick up your watch at 7AM. Simply set the time, then set the date. That easy.

      There’s no date complication so it’s literally just set the time and screw the crown back in. No day/date watches are the easiest to set the time.

      Analog quartz watches have the same geartrain as a mechanical/automatic one for time and datd, just without the spring/escapement that makes it tick-tick-tick.
