Guys,
I have been looking at this model as a new second work watch. Hoever, one question I cannot find an answer to is what is the compass winder for at the 9 o'clock position. It doesn't seem to have much practical value to me.
Answers on a postcard please!!!!
Regards
Colin

I'm not sure if I'm answering your question but there is a way to find true north using an analog watch. I guess once you do the math with the watch you can orientate a map to the watch. See here: www.qwerty.co.za/sundials/howto/truenorthw.htmlHope it helps. |

Colin I have one. Someone explained the compass function to me but I was still lost. But I don't care, I think IT'S JUST SO COOL!  Karl BTW, It's a big watch. |

You learn something new every day. I know I'd never heard of that saying. We seem to have quite a few British people here and from other parts of the world.
That's the great thing about this forum and the internet in general. Here I am in Chicago, Illinois, learning some British phrase on a forum about Japanese watches.
Regards, back at you, and thanks for the Rotary brand.
Is it as popular in Britain as they say?
