Watcha wearing?

Beautiful! One day I'll have an IWC

 

I am so jealous! That is my favorite watch!! I've looks at jaeger, Patek, Rolex, and all the others. IWC's Portofino is just the perfect mix of form/function imo. One day when I have the funds, I'm going to treat myself to that exact watch...

 

Old reliable lumi gearing up for this weekends wheeling trip. This watch has been banged off pretty much everything you can bang it off of and other than the inner bezel ring falling out, it's been rock solid.

 

My dream watch. You're a lucky man

 

I don't have any booklet for this watch...
Anyone know how to change the AM/PM on these? My date changes at noon, instead of midnight.
I've tried leaving the watch in set mode for over 12 hours, and then adjusting the time, and I've also tried The Google, and still can't figure it out!

Thanks in advance!

 

Roll it forward 12 hours and reset the date maybe?

 

I'll give it a shot again.

 

Well, yesterday after noon I rolled forward 12 hours (it thought I was in the AM, so there was no date change), and I checked it this morning to find still no date change. I tried rolling forward another 12 hours this morning, and still no date change. I even tried stopping at 11:59 each time, pushing the crown in, so it could roll over to 12:00, but still moi date change. Currently it's 7 AM on the 13th, but this watch will day the 12th until noon today.

I've had this watch for a while now, and it was running when I got it. Aside from letting it roll over to 12 with the crown in, is there any other common trick?

 

It's a Seiko Coutura Perpetual Solar.
The date is represented by the hand pointing to the outer ring:


(Showing the 23rd on this pic)

No matter what I do while adjusting the time, I cannot get the date to change. When I have adjusted the date manually, it still retains the wrong am/pm state, and will eventually change the date at noon.

 

Just doing a bit of camping right now with the Nighthawk as well.

 

Is the 24hr clock at bottom of the face set to match the current time in 24hr format? I found the manual and it looks like that's what controls the calendar functions and AM/PM determination. The main 12hr clock appears to function independently of the calendar indications.

You can find the manual here, I tried to upload but it was too large.

 

I do believe that's it! The perpetual calendar was > 12, and now it's where it should be! I adjusted it, then fixed the date and day of week. I can't believe I didn't see the manual. Thanks!!!

 

Yup, that was it!



Thanks again everyone, especially @JeffRoyJenkins

 

Awesome, I'm glad you were able to get it all dialed in now.

 

I would have guess the limit would have been closer to 100 units. Gotta be tough to sell 1 of those things let alone 2500

Just ball bustin.... Since you opened that door...

If you like it enjoy it. Fuck the watch snobs

 

my fav

 

I like that!!

 

My Bremont Supermarine. I’m going desk diving today.

 

Some of the "fancy" swiss stuff is chinese parts with only final assembly being done in Switzerland.

I know a guy picked up a few watches in China that are technically knock-offs but made with legitimate components. Serial even registered as valid for warranty on one.

I went years with no watch other than a cheap Casio solar i only wore while jogging.

Then got this Garmin. Wish it wasnt so thick but otherwise good.

 

At a BBQ yesterday my girlfriend's acquaintance got too drunk & was trying to give me the IWC he had on. It was a gift from his rich sister & he thought it was some cheap trinket from a duty free store she passed through. I woke up today second guessing being honest & not accepting it.
