Setting time on my Moonie...?

Recommended Posts

Hey der!

 

I was setting the time on my moonie this morning and when I turned the crown anti-clockwise, to move the minute hand back it made the seconds go backwards? eh? Was only for a second or so....I read this is normal, but not good for it?

 

I can move it ever so slightly to stop the seconds until it the time is right! Is this ok?

 

Anyone got any tips to get the time set accurately? Just wait till it runs out and go from there perhaps?

 

 

 

And that's how you ask 117 questions in 4 lines :lol:

Better give it to me :giggle:

 

Seriously no idea, is it an Auto or Handwind?

I "went back in time" on one of my hand wound reps and the seconds did go back too.. if that helps?

Mine does this also, it's normal just makes it a wee bit trickier to set to exact time alternating backwards and forwards till you get it bang on to the second.
