Date change on SMP Quartz

Hi,

I purchased my SMP quartz two weeks ago, now with a new month, I am looking to change the date manually (previous watch was a pep. calender Seiko!).

From a half an hour search here on the forums, it is still unclear how to do this, or if my watch has a problem.

My crown seems to have only two positions..first one out of "neutral" is the time zone feature, where the hour hand only goes forward/back, the second one sets the date.

I have tried this many times, to see if I am clicking past another position, but I don't think I am.

Is there something I am missing? I thought one could change the date all by itself...if so, what position on the crown is this?

Please help.

Regards,
lb
