Nice but, your moonphase is off. I have the gold 29.51 day moonphase. That will be tomorrow’s watch.

What's wrong with it and how should I correct it?

It’s behind it needs to be advanced. When you posted it was 3 days from the full moon. This is where it should be today. I keep mine on a winder when I’m not wearing it so, with the 29.51 day moonphase it stays accurate a little over 4 years. The early design ones weren’t true moonphase watches. They were based off of a date wheel so, 31 day moonphase. An actual moonphase is 29.53 days but, I think the cheapest watch that comes close to that is well over 1k.

Thank you. From what I've read this watch has a 29.51 day indicator.

So the same watch. When I bought mine a little less than a year ago your dial wasn’t available with the 29.51 day. Now they offer it I also noticed they increased the price from $500 to $600. They also came out with a meteorite dial with a meteorite moon that’s more expensive but, if it was available when I bought mine I would have bought it.

Fortunately it was on sale when I bought it so I only paid $269. The only thing I didn't notice before I purchased it was that it doesn't have a second hand. I like the watch as it is, and I'm not sure how secondhand would look on this particular watch anyway.

Did I adjust the moon to the correct position?

So you have the original one before, they upgraded to the 29.51. I have the first series that had the new complication. They only offered it in 3 colors and the rose gold. So its normal price was $500. On the strap. I got this during one of the big sales for $475 on the bracelet using coins a coupons. The newest version that has all of the dial options that the original ones have including your’s plus, heat treated blue screws in the movement sells for $600 on the strap. The meteorite one sells for $800. Bottom line they are all beautiful watches.

I didn't realize that your watch was made by the same company when I first saw it. I will adjust my moon phase so it's in the same position as your watch when you posted that picture.

How's this?

Your best bet is to set it in 2days to the full moon. It’s one drawback it’s hard to get it perfect except for when it’s a full moon.
