I have a triple date watch but I seldom wear it coz it’s a pain to set Thanks mate! Yeah it’s a bit of a faff, there’s a quickset for the day, month and moonphase but the date you have to advance through midnight, then wind back to about 9pm, then forward again through midnight, kinda like a first series Royal Oak. I don’t mind it though, I think the fact vintage watches are a bit needy is one of their charms, they demand interaction. Automatic watches are boring, if you haven’t got to twist things or push buttons then what’s the point honestly? DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted June 12, 2021 That is a lovely piece indeed @_DC_. Although I'm sure you have a system, this is a good video (a bit wordy at the beginning) explaining how to set the moon phase accurately. It's the same for a pusher or crown advanced complication. I often tend to just go the lazy route, if I know I'm only going to wear it for a day or so, and wing it. Going green today 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers mate, yeah I’ve got two moonphase watches and I’m kinda obsessive about making sure they are correct when I wear them... I’ve got an app that tells me the correct position, either that or I set it to full moon then check when the last full moon was and advance it accordingly!

_DC_ 218 Posted June 13, 2021 @FunnyStarSystem I use an app called “Moonphase Watch Calendar” it’s real simple and has a calendar layout so you can click back to find the last full moon and count on the days from there. While on the subject, here’s my other moonphase gen... a triple calendar moonphase chronograph no less DC 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
