Sorry for the confusion guys...

Sorry for the confusion: I appreciate your (plural) precision. Indeed I am more interested in MIH vs generic 7750 recommendations.

So I did a little searching and exerpted below from the "MIH book" on the watch website, interestingly does not mention favorable/unfavorable times:

Owner’s instructions
"The MIH Watch sports the tried and proven ETA-Valjoux calibre 7750 – an automatic movement whose 40-hour or so power reserve is full after just thirty turns of the crown. Apart from the pusher that controls the stopwatch function, the crown is the MIH Watch’s only operating element. The time is set as with any other mechanical watch: you pull the crown out two stops and turn it either way. If you have had to wind the watch because it has stopped, or you have travelled to a distant time zone, you must ensure that the AM-PM display is correct – it is located to the left of the day display and takes the form of one or two red dots. Setting the day/date is simplicity itself if done in the correct order: start by setting the correct day of the week by turning the hands (i.e. with the crown pulled out two stops, as explained above). Once the time, AM-PM setting and day of the week are in sync, you can move onto the month and date, as follows. Pull the crown out one stop and turn it clockwise until the correct date is showing (note that changing the time backwards (see above) will also reverse the date display).  ..."
