Tudor tool

I just purchased new Tudor Chrono ref. 20300.

The date setting on this watch is done with a "date corrector"(integrated pusher)

I initially thought that you just push the little ball with your finger to change the date but quickly came to realize that this wasn't working and you would need a pen or paperclip to push it in. I really didn't like using these as I was afraid my hand would slip and scratch the watch.

This didn't seem right to me so I decided I should probably read the manual and it stated... "to set the date,press connector 10(Fig. 4) using the Tudor tool provided with the watch".

There was no Tudor tool in the box and am just wondering if anyone has ever seen one. Thanks

Use perhaps a match stick or a similar bit of wood its doubtful if that would scratch myself have never heard of this tool.Cannot you set the date via the winding crown as I am not familiar with this watch.

Hi Peter,as far as I know the date can only be set with "date corrector"(integrated pusher).

The pusher is located at the 10 o'clock position. (see pic)

I will be picking up the Tudor tool that should have been in the box this afternoon at my local AD.
