    If I had any idea how the flying fork I set the moonphase hand on my Eberhard Mareoscope I would gladly show it here.

    LOL! I love that watch as it looks far too complicated to be used easily. 👍🏻

    Love both of them! Not seen that Casio before, is that a module that's still available?

    In the absence of any pushers - then I think you just wind the time setting forward until the moonphase desired is selected, then wind the hands back to set the correct time

    at least thats how I used to do it on a poljot with no other obvious way of setting it.

    I think you may be right; thanks. That's 14 3/4 daysworth of winding!

    Cancel that - the moonphase hand only adjusts in forward mode. So it's potentially the full 29½ days of winding.
    I think it would be easier to move the moon.

    I'm really loving the new Chris Ward moonphase at the moment.

    I think I might have to start saving.

    I do like the first Christopher Ward moon phase model, not so keen on the newer one.

    That Casio is just so cool!
