vlydog Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The ol' 1680 is runnin' a bit fast. Is it detrimental to turn the hands back a couple of minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 No. There was even documentation from various manufactures about semi-quick-stetting dates on non-quickset movements by rocking back and forth between 10 after midnight and 20 til midnight. I think the turning backwards is part myth, or only applies to very specific movements. If you go backwards, go back at least :20 then forward to the time you want. I have done this on my serviced/COSC 1575 without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
