October 1st ...time to re-set the date on all my watches that have one :D The two Vostoks need the time advanced a full 24 hours, the Slava needs a button pressed and the Raketa needs the crown pulled.

The two Vostoks need the time advanced a full 24 hours, the Slava needs a button pressed and the Raketa needs the crown pulled.

Also time to note that the Vostok Europe hasn't been touched those last three months to have the time set ...it's still the same 20 seconds ahead of standard time as it was three months ago ...how's that for accuracy?

(The Vostok Komandirskie however is another story (basically the same movement). It runs reasonably accurate when worn all day and every day ...but leave it alone for a while and it gains a minute per day)

Now I remember one of the reasons I dislike dates on watches. The only one I have(Lip Nautic) advances the time "backwards" if you know what I mean. Instead of moving the time forward as if you were winding a watch it goes the other way. Awkward a tad.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
