hey all watch enthusiasts out there, i just got my omega 300M chrono diver (caliber 1164),i have a question about setting the date correctly,may I know what is the correct & safe way of setting the date on my watch please? I've tried setting the date on position 1 by turning the crown forward as what is written on the manual, but it doesn't seems to change correctly. What will be its date change interval?

QUOTE(ck77 @ Mar 12 2009, 05:07 PM) Hmm .. just make sure don't change the date during 8pm to 3am as it may cause damage in the movement. thx for the reply bro, die la then, i once set the date in the morning when i dunno whether the watch recognizes am or pm, anyway i've tried to wind the hour hand and hoping the date will change, but after 2 cycles of "12" the date still didnt change, is there any problem with it? How do you know is am or pm? Very simple, wind the hour hand and observe the date, if it changes when the hour hand pass 12, then is am. Otherwise it is in pm mode. Good luck and enjoy your new baby, and do show us some pictures    FYI, caliber 1164 is a weird 1....in order to wind the hour hands clockwise, i'll need to wind the crown anti clockwise, dunno whether izit normal or wat. Alrite,i'll post some pics of my baby when i'm back homeThis post has been edited by louyit: Mar 12 2009, 05:49 PM |

Ok, just sent my watch back to Omega....the watchmaker says my case(date wont change according to 24hr cycles) shouldn't happen,might due to some mechanism stuck in between or wat. Sigh.....sad,just bought a new watch and it gives me this problem adi,i'm afraid dat the mechanism is broken or wat....so i sent bek for warranty, just to ask u guys' experience whether izit possible to ask for 1 to 1 exchange cuz it's still new (1 month old) and i seldom wear it?How do you know is am or pm? Very simple, wind the hour hand and observe the date, if it changes when the hour hand pass 12, then is am. Otherwise it is in pm mode. Good luck and enjoy your new baby, and do show us some pictures |

QUOTE(nye79 @ May 7 2009, 12:20 PM) Speaking of watch magazines, i used to buy revolution and world of watch but the the mag is not on monthly issue (if i am not mistaken). Hi, mind to share which mag shop is that?those Indian owned shops nearby the aquarium? Last 2 weeks i came to know one mag shop at Amcorp Mall (ground floor) that sell "not-so-current" issues of all type of magazines, inclusive watch magazine. i bought imported watch magazine (Time Watch if not wrong) at RM12.90. the original price is RM31. but they are selling 1 or 2 month issue late la...for e.g. latest issue there was february 09 when i bought them in april. i think that should be ok for 2 months lag as its cheap...by the way, it is watch mag and not celebraties-gissop mag rite?   I'm interested to go have a look.ThxAdded on May 12, 2009, 7:17 pm QUOTE(nye79 @ May 7 2009, 12:20 PM) Speaking of watch magazines, i used to buy revolution and world of watch but the the mag is not on monthly issue (if i am not mistaken).

guys, i would like to know whether is it suitable to wear an automatic watch for sports as it may create too much of 'movements' to the automatic winders and resulting faster wear and tear?
