Well, well, well, you got yourself a fancy watch, huh? That Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, they say it’s a real looker. Now you’re scratching your head, wondering how to change the time on it? Don’t worry none, it ain’t rocket science. Even this old gal can figure it out, and if I can, you sure can too.
First things first, you gotta find that little knob thingy, they call it a crown. Fancy name for a knob, if you ask me. It’s usually on the side of the watch. See it? Good.
Now, you gotta be gentle with it. Don’t go yanking on it like you’re pullin’ weeds. Think of it like holdin’ a delicate little bird. Got it?
Alright, pull that crown out, just a little bit. You should feel a little click. That means you’re in the time-settin’ mode. If you pull it out all the way, you might be messin’ with the date, and we don’t want that, do we? Just a little pull, remember.
- Pull the crown gently, hear the click.
- Don’t yank too hard, be gentle.
Now, here’s the tricky part, kinda. You gotta turn that crown. One way makes the hands go forward, the other way makes ’em go backward. Which way you go depends on if you’re tryin’ to go forward in time or back in time. Makes sense, right?
Keep turnin’ until you get the time right. If you’re one of them folks who needs to be precise to the second, well, you’re gonna have to wait for the second hand to hit the 12 and then set the time. Me? I just get it close enough. Close enough is good enough for most things in life, I reckon.
Once you got the time set, push that crown back in. Push it gently, just like you pulled it out. You should feel another little click. That means it’s all locked in, and your time won’t be wanderin’ off on its own.
Now, some folks say you gotta wind these watches, especially if they ain’t the battery kind. Something about keepin’ the insides all oiled up. If yours is one of them wind-up ones, you gotta turn that crown a bunch of times. How many times? I don’t rightly know. Just keep turnin’ until it don’t turn no more. But don’t force it! You don’t want to break your fancy watch, do ya?
They also say these Audemars Piguet watches, they hold their value. Something about ’em bein’ well-made and folks wantin’ ’em. So take care of it, don’t be bashin’ it around. Maybe you can sell it for a pretty penny someday, who knows?
So there you have it. That’s how you change the time on your Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Don’t let all that fancy talk scare ya. It’s just a watch, and watches tell time. And now you know how to make yours tell the right time.
And if you still can’t figure it out, well, there’s always the manual. Those little books that come with stuff? They’re actually useful sometimes. Who knew?
