hello mark. and thank's again i will pass to the watch maker 2marro. i just won that esa y2, on ebay with an offer of 105GBP. i had to do it as i really like the watch i have now. like your's. but i think your with your help we will be able to use my watch the way it is. will see. thank's again Ta phila pa 19125 usa

: Sure. It's a bit complicated, so bear with me and feel free to ask
: anything that's not clear!

: With the watch displaying seconds and date (no dots),
: pressing the left-hand pusher will change the display to the
: stopwatch (two dots). Pressing the right-hand pusher will then
: start and stop the stopwatch. If the stopwatch is running,
: pressing the left pusher will revert to the seconds and date
: display but the stopwatch will still be running. Pressing
: left again will show the elapsed time on the stopwatch. If the
: stopwatch is stopped, pressing the left pusher will reset the
: stopwatch.

: With the watch displaying seconds and date (no dots),
: pressing the right-hand pusher should change the display to GMT
: (one dot). Pressing the left-hand pusher will show the stopwatch
: (with controls as above), pressing the right-hand pusher will
: show seconds and date (no dots).

: To summarise, the right-hand pusher selects between perpetual
: seconds with date (two dots) and GMT time (one dot). The
: left-hand pusher selects the stopwatch if pressed once and
: reverts to the previous view if pressed twice.

: To adjust the seconds/date and/or GMT time, hold down both pushers
: and it should revert to seconds/date display with the seconds
: digit(s) flashing. If you want to amend the flashing digits,
: press the right-hand pusher (either repeatedly to advance
: manually or hold it down to advance one by one automatically -
: and slowly!). Once you're happy with the settings, press the
: left-hand pusher again and it will cycle to the next setting (in
: the order perpetual seconds : date : GMT hour : GMT minutes). If
: you don't want to change any of the settings, just press the
: left-hand pusher to advance to the next setting without changing
: anything.

: Good luck! It's not really as complicated as I just made it look,
: honest - trial and error gets you most of the way, but I hope
: the above helps :)
