There is a post " DAY DATE II " in that post there are some pics of awesome watches including the new DD II.

I noticed that on all the watches the time is 10:11 but how did they get all the min hands to show 31 sec past the hour???:th inking:

If you go back to that thread, you will see my post which states that those were all DUMMY models for display purposes ONLY!!

No movements inside.....all else original.

By using the hack mechanism and pulling the crown out to position number 3 exactly when the second hand reaches 31 seconds. Alot of work, but a true WIS does notice their efforts.

So all the richie-rich folk here in Auckland could have a look at them and then place orders for the ones they liked. A lot of the DD-II models have already been paid for in advance.

Actual stock should start arriving next month for those who have made down-payments.

Is the question why a lot advertisements for watches show the time as 10:10.31 or so? Supposedly this has a pleasant "face." The hour and minute hands are kind of a smiley face. The second hand position gives a degree of symmetry.
