FINALLY, at long last I got my Watch figured out, I bought this 3 or 4 years ago,
I did the Rolex thing and the Omega's and the Breitling thing and I was never impressed with their time keeping and I hate Quartz Watches because of having to keep taking them back to get the Batteries change So for the last 20+ Years I have been wearing Citizen Watches which are a UK Company that have been going for about 120+ years,
Thing I love about them Is they are accurate within 1 Second to 1.5 seconds a month and although they have a Quartz type movement they are Solar Powered So the Battery never needs changing, and I have about 3 of them. The internal Battery when fully charged will run the watch for 5 years and in direct sunlight it takes about 3 hours to charge
The last one I bought was about $1100.00 Limited edition but when I bought it I never understood how to set the thing so every time Daylight saving came along I buggered it up and had to Phone the Factory, The thing that was causing the problem Is setting the Date, It is called a "Perpetual Calendar" which I thought meant it had the Date on it, and it has, But what it actually does when set right It knows the Month and the Date and it knows if it's Feb 28 and when to change to March the 1st and it even knows when it's a Leap year etc which is pretty tricky for a Non Digital Watch so the Date always reads correct,
Thanks to the Lady at the factory and a Picture I now know how to set it,
Mine is the same as this Watch
