The correct method to avoid danger zone?
Hello! After studying the "danger zone" for quite a long time, I would like to ask you if my method of setting the clock is correct. 1 - I set hands at 6 o'clock. 2 - I advance the date quickly, if for example today is 5, I advance it to 4. 3- I advance the hands of the watch that are left at 6 o'clock to avoid the danger zone (first step), I advance until the date changes to 5, so as not to confuse AM / PM. 4 - I set my hands at the correct time. Are these steps correct to avoid the danger zone?
If possible without joking answers, thank you. |

With a Rolex quickset movement there is no "danger zone" as there is with other manufacturer's movements. You can set the date whenever you like, but it is prudent to set it a day short and advance the hands to ensure correct am/pm time setting

Yes, I first set the date a day ago, and then I advance from the hands to the date of the day I am in, to know if it is am / pm.

If I am setting a watch for the first time I usually turn the hands past 12. If the date changes, then I know I am at the am cycle. If the date does not change then it is a pm cycle.
Those watches that use gears to change date generally engage around 10pm to 2 am, so there is a wide area to work with. If you choose 6 oclock as your standard, then you should use that all the time so it becomes a habit, but there are many other times that would work as well. Setting the date for the day before, then "sneaking" up on it by turning the hands through to today's date is popular, but not necessary.

6 o'clock seemed the most suitable for me :) Thank you for the answer!
