6694 Oyster Date ( Non Q set date )

[chris9]

Because i read it somewhere, that this watch is able adjust the date by turning clock wise or anti clockwise.

By turning clockwise over and over again you can change the date..but there's no quick set.

I did it too with my non-quick set. Just want to know why does it harm the watch if we wind backwards to get the correct date. Thanks.

[chris9]

I am wondering too ???

[Darkangel]

Why...hmm I think we have to ask our mech engineers here. Hahaha...goes against the flow of the movements of the parts I feel...

Then again...I still do it and after so long *touch wood* so far so gd hehehe..
