Recently bought a rather substantial silver pocket watch - you wouldn't
want to fall into deep water wearing it.
It's missing its second-hand, but I don't anticipate having problems
finding another. I was given a spider with one key missing, but one of
the remaining ones fitted.
So far, so good - but short of opening the front and adjusting the time
with a finger, I can't find a way of turning the hands without waiting
for it to do so itself for a *very* long time. The other owatch I have
which uses a key has a central "keyhole" for just that purpose.
I've tried turning the key while holding down the button which opens the
back, and before anyone suggests it, no, the back of the inner case does
not open.
What am I not doing (correctly)?
(Also bought a watchchain for it, or a small anchor, whichever I have
need of most at the time...)
