Thanks for the response. The instructions helped, to a point. The Kentucky I have includes display of both day and date, not just date. So setting was a little different than in the scan. Ultimately, through experimentation, I learned tha the crown has two detents: pulled to the 2nd, it sets the time as usual, but moving forward and backward around midnight does not set the date. Once I discovered the 1st detent things became more clear: rotate the crown clockwise to set the date, anti-clockwise to set the day of week. The watch has been keeping flawless time since I wound and set it. This site is wonderful - a great contribution to collectors and enthusiasts.

I hope your week improves and includes a weekend sometime soon.

Doug
