G-P Gyromatic 39J
My Gyromatic ref: 7317 will change date backwards and forwards by the crown turning through 24 hours at a time either backwards or forwards - tedious but slightly less than some other slow forward-only date changers eg Omega calibre 561. It was 1957-58 I suppose. Easier to wait until close to when the real date arrives.

When I turn it back..
prior to midnight the date reverts to the previous day so at this point I am assuming it has no quickset feature. Sometimes I just wear it with the date set to whatever it was on when the watch used all of the power reserve.
Ah, yes. I have one like that and indeed, that means no quick set
so as you said, either leave the date at whatever or just wear it all the time
Or wait until the correct date occur!
That is what Ido many times - so approx. 32 days between each time! Best Blomman
