I thought the sales person would set the watch for you?
I asked her to show me at first but let me take over but she sitting next to me whilst i'm doing it so she can guide me. This is so i can gain the experience. I really want to learn so as not to break the parts accidently or do anything wrong to damage the watch.
Today it took me 12 minutes to set up the watch. As suggested by Patek Philippe, first set the watch to 6am and set the date first, then day and month. Then move the time to 7am, and set the moon phase. After that only set the time, then finally wind the watch to full power.
Wipe away fingerprints, look at watch, insert back into box. 12 minutes gone.
