Time to fastfoward

Silly April only has 30 days, which makes today the 1st of May (already). Gotta turn the date to 1 - instead of the reading 31.

Happy May

Mike

Nuts! By the time I figure out how to reset all my date watches to the 1st, it'll be the 2nd!

It's advisable NOT to fiddle with the date between the hours of 8 pm and 2 am. I read this once in an OMEGA catalogue.

Best thing next time is to flick over from 30 to 31 on the evening of the 30th itself.

The next morning you can wake up and see your watch showing '1'.

That's a good idea. I just waited for mine to roll over (31st) and then when I woke up today (11am) I rolled it over to the 1st.

I would rather wake up and start off my new month with my watch showing '1' instead of '31'.

By the time I realized that I should change it, it was already past the 8pm suggestion mark.

Damn! I missed all those appointments I made for the 31st of April. Guess I'll reschedule for the 31st of June! Incidentally, for all you guys "down under", If you point your GMT hour hand at the sun, does the red hand really point South?
