    Don't forget to put ALL your watches 1 hour forward.

    Put my radio controlled ones on the window sill to get their signal. Don't get me started on the cooker, why do they have to make them so difficult!

    1 quartz watch that needs resetting, plus my Rolex Sub and my Seiko beater. All the rest are sitting in the watch boxes 'resting'.

    The quartz is a Seamaster pre-Bond with the facility to move the hour hand forward; now I`ve got it fixed and working I`ll enjoy doing this. Sorting this out was fiendish; fit a tiny circlip the wrong way up and it won't step the hour on as it should.

    Not a lot of people know that :)

    Yeah, had to set 30+ watches today :roll: :roll: :roll:

    One radio watch got a sync during the night but it was before the DST change so it was still wrong in the morning - I will give it a second chance this night.

    The only watch that was smart enough was the one running on a WorldTime firmware done by me (which also knows DST for 30+ other timezones) - the HAQ-ezChronos - a link to the project here and a picture here.

    This looks very interesting. Am reading your WUS messages now. Very impressive!

    Thank you - I hope that some day all that experience will go into one or more (decently-priced) High-End Quartz models :wink:

    Should be interesting. The same or similar module would certainly be desirable in a higher value case. Good luck with commercialising it!
