Setting the date window for December 1st

Not exactly a wrist shot:



Today was the day. Figured I'd do a bunch of them at once rather than wait until I strapped one on and got confused by the wrong date.

Of the nine shown here, only three of them were even working at all until a couple of months ago when I bought some watch tools and a whole bunch of batteries from Amazon. they are all working now, including the Seiko Speed Master Giugiaro/Senna motorcycle watch I've owned for 40-years. It's been in a dresser drawer for nearly half that time until I Googled the battery it needed, got a bunch of different sized o-ring and o-ring grease, and a case wrench—and it fired right up including the lights! And, it's smart enough to know the date without my help!

The last one to get a battery was the small Victorinox Stainless Officer Watch I bought recently as a non-working piece for my wife, and it took Amazon Prime two-weeks to get me the battery for it. Thanks to the USPS!

But as of today, it's working just fine! A nice little watch.
