Can you move back the hands on your Breitling to set it to the correct time?

Yes, but not between the hours of 8pm and 3am.

Even if for example it has stopped between 8 and 3? This is where I get all confused, let's say I haven't worn my watch in a few days and it has stopped between 8 and 3, should I treat it like it is between 8pm and 3am?

That's the safest. Wind the time forward until the dtae changes (midnight) and then keep winding until after 3am. You can then use the quickset date to set to today and then wind the time forward to the correct time.

The way that I always do it if I have a watch that has stopped is to make sure that the indicated time is outside of 8 and 3 and then use the quickset date to set the watch to the day before, then wind time forward until the correct date and time is indicated.

Roff, great advice. This is the method I use.

Most times I just avoid it completely by giving it some twists so it runs a bit, and adjust it after 3am.

I recently picked up a cheap winder and it is doing a good job. Not sure how long it will last, but maybe I'll get lucky.
