Had one of those once. Got bored and sold it. Glad you picked one up. Make sure you have a good pile of batteries, they need to be replaced every third month!



I like it.

Best,

A

Well it looks broken to me

If the minutes were correct, I'd guess it had a GMT function; but an obvious synchronization problem... I'd return it to the AD promptly

It's a date function - with both month and date.

At last a Rolex with annual calendar! Check it out. He got it just before Christmas! It must have been an early gift!

I want one! These will be a rare collector's item someday. I hear only 3 were produced for top executives of the Seiko corporation.
