Changing time question.

I was just reading this, http://www.ehow.com/how_4681155_set-...lex-watch.html

Pull the winding crown out to the last notch, as far as it will go. This is the time setting position on your Rolex watch. You will see that the second hand has stopped and gone to 12.

My watch stopped so I wound it up a good 30-40 times, and then I pulled out farthest to set the time, and the second hand didn't goto 12 like it said it would on that link, it just stopped at where it was when I pulled it out all the way. Is that bad?

Also, while fiddling with it at this point, I accidently changed the date and didn't know turning it counter-clockwise doesn't make it go backwards, you have to go clockwise until you get to the date you want again. Was turning it counter-clockwise bad move?

Hi Ron

don't believe everything you read on the internet

But you CAN believe everything you read on TRF

If you pull crown out to furthest position, second hand will stop, so just pull it out when it get's to "12"

For example, if you had a Panerai with the 2003 movement then yes it would reset to 12 when the crown is pulled all the way out.

The automatic watch is outfitted with a power reserve of ten full days made possible by serially operating spring barrels, their reserve displayed by a linear indication with a small hand. Additionally, Caliber P.2003 is outfitted with an intelligent second hand reset system that gets activated simply by pulling the crown, as well as an hour hand that can be adjusted in increments of one hour - an extra very much appreciated by travelers
