Thank You for your advice, that is what I kind of thought, I guess I needed to hear it from someone else. I think I will just get it serviced one of these days. Does it cause any kind of damage if you back pedal the hands and have them go counter clockwise to set the time as I am unable to set the time clockwise as I said the crown unscrews that way, would this cause a gearing issue with specific gears or the date wheel.

Thank you again

Jonathan
