Pros: Very legible dial, and scratch proof ceramic case. It can be set to any date with the use of case pushers.
Cons: Using the case pusher that advances the whole calendar ahead a day per push doesn’t advance the moonphase, so I often just advance the hands if is only a few days behind.
Rolex Skydweller Annual Calendar.
Pros: Very satisfying to adjust the time or date forward or backward using the bezel to change modes, and a subtle month indicator.
Cons: The glittering fluted bezel may be too blingy at times.

We've seen some discussion recently about the pros and cons of perpetual calendars, by brand and by model. Can we do a thread on this? Please contribute your thoughts on watches you've owned, with images. MECHANICAL MIH Annual Calendar Good - If running, ...
Don’t have any to join in…
But the MiH was s high on the to get list as would be an ochs & junior annual calendar. Both can be set forwards and backwards 😁
Yes, I have an O&Jr moonphase which is also an annual calendar (I think)
But I can never remember how to set the moon! I will see if I can find the online directions for setting... A few minutes later... ...

Thoughts on some I owned or still own 1. Reverso Perpetuel Good: Amazing design The indications which are not being used often are on the flip side Bad: Manual wind with short power reserve Everything being adjusted via correctors, that feels fragile 2. A...

I also have two Ludwig designed extended calendar watches (that you have). MIH... well you're correct that it's tricky to set but the all in line display which includes am-pm indication is
very cool. For me the only real downside to this watch is that to read the chronograph you have to take it off as its readout is part of the movement and on the back of the watch. UN Marine Perpetual ltd... I love the display layout and the fact that the ...
I forgot my Marine, shame on me
As long as we are doing Cat pictures... RIP Tiger PS - I had a regular UN Marine too. Mine was blue with white hands. I can't fathom why I sold it; I loved this watch. ...
Yes, RIP Tiger! The watchmaker I mentioned has that same 1846 UN and he loves it. As far as forgetting your Marine Perpetual ltd, don't worry bro I got your back!
I would have bought that 1846 from you in a heartbeat!
I ran across the receipt - I sold it to a Linda on this website, back in August 2011
Now I just have to find what expensive watch I bought in the same timeframe

The King
IMHO still the most elegant and ingenious PC that is AFFORDABLE to most watch enthusiast. Simple to set, forwards or backwards, wheels only, no clicks and hard to read hands. Only eight parts for the perpetual function. No Instant jump just gradual change...
The Prince
The best tool watch PC interpretation. Very legible and combined with the most sought after complication , the chronograph. Yet again very affordable. Setting forwards only. ...
Hi Mike. Perpetual calendars are possibly the most useful complication. It has always fascinated me that the watch knows the year, month, day and date by way of gears.
Over the course of time I have had a few. I had an IWC Portuguese Perpetual - WG, black dial. It wore big and the WG and black dial were hard to read. I also had a JLC Master Perpetual - nice watch - maybe I shouldn't have parted with it but I did. Presen...
It's pretty hard to adjust the calendar.
I already sold mine but thinking about get it back. ...
