Re: Citizen Eco-Drive Perpetual E811 skipping a month on April 3?

The weirdest thing is happening to my watch. I have the Citizen eco-
drive perpetual watch with movement caliber number E811 on the back.

When I set the watch to month 4 (second hand pointing to the date
indicator at the 4 position) and the date to 3 and push the crown back
in, the day advances to 4 and the month advances to 5. When I set the
day to 2, the month to 4, and push the crown in, everything is fine.
When I then advance the day to 3 and push in the crown, the day again
advances to 4 and the month advances to 5.

I have the year set to 3 in the upper right dial for 3rd year before
leap year.

Does anybody know what's going on?

sounds like the same sort of problem the owner of the Seiko 6M25 calendar movement had, all the hands and date were screwed up because the nitwit mall battery changer has no clue.

check the hands and date "0" position before you go any further, if this not setup right then the watch will show some very strange behavior
