The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I've had my Datora for a couple years now, and I've received it from BUSA today, and I thought of something. If you were adjusting the watch.. Is there any problems with reversing the date day during the same month without changing the month? I just wanted to make sure that you dont have to forward change the whole date, and then change the month? I havent done that, but I just wanted to know.

I guess, since to add this, since its the same thing with the time... reversing it back is fine too? As long not changed between 8pm-8am?

I can't comment on the Datora as I've never owned one but personally I try to avoid any backwards motion at all with my watches. ultimately I'm of the opinion that they are designed to go in one direction, so I don't tend to risk it for the sake of a couple of mins extra when setting it.

It's 8pm and 3am, not 8am.

Month and day are independent so you can adjust them separately, just not sure why you would need to go back in days within the same month (unless it was set incorrectly).

EXACTLY DRIVER8 - IN THE WORLD OF HOROLOGY ONE CAN ONLY BOLDLY GO FORWARD!

All kidding aside I am of the same opinion that watches are designed to go forward only.

Well, thats glad that I set it up yesterday once I got it back from BUSA. I only asked to see if it was normal.

thanks! However... I have another thread that I'm starting because I think this isnt nearly as bad.
