Hi,

If you have ever reached in to set the mechanical Patek clocks you know
that it is a bit difficult and requires a bit of dexterity!

It also requires pulling the top cover and sliding out of a rack if
mounted.

The glass bezel unscrews to give access to the hands, is it OK to set
these clocks by advancing the hands manually?

It sure would be easier! :)

Cheers,

Corby
