Hi I have just received Mark Vi but am confused.
There are 3 subdials ie Date, month, Day of week but each has two hands.
if i push in the setting buttons only one hand can be set.
what is the other for and how do i set it? Thanks

That would be the chronograph!

12 o'clock sub is the running seconds which runs all the time and the other two are minutes and hours for the chrono. Start and stop the chrono with the top pusher and reset it with the bottom pusher when stopped.

Congratulations, that's a really nice watch! One of my favorites. You will enjoy getting to know everything you possibly can about it and this forum is a great resource.
