Changing Date Time on ROO Diver
Random question everyone - when changing the time on a ROO Diver...does winding the crown clockwise move the time forward or backwards?

OK - thanks very much. The opposite to my Submariner then.

Am I right in thinking clockwise moves the date forwards?

Perfect - I am picking a watch up from a dealer and am doing all my research to ensure I know that it is not a replica. I have played with a genuine one for about 90 minutes in an AD so think I know what to look for! Lining up markers...feel of rotating bezel...uniform bezel screws...correct cyclops etc.

The dealer in question has an excellent reputation...but being careful never hurt anyone! :)

Will post up some photos once I pick her up next week!

Be careful, there are some scary fakes out there. But if you're buying from an AD, you'll be fine. Congrats ahead of time.

It is not from an AD - but a dealer who sources them and has a good reputation.

Believe me I know how good the fakes are - that's why I am not leaving it to chance!
