setting.  The crown is used to set the time and the pusher is used to set all other functions (which are synchronized).  There are only 2 caveats:

1.  When the window under the "12" and the months subdial is red (as in the below photo), just leave the setting alone (do not move hands backwards as date change gears are engaged).   It is OK to move the hands clockwise until the red disappears and then set the date mechanism.

2.  If one moves the time too far in advance of the current date/time, it is easier to just let the time "catch up" rather than attempting to go backwards.

You are quite fortunate to have acquired this perpetual.  It is an ideal size (in my view) and its slimness is especially appealing.

Enjoy wearing it!

Help setting Master Perpetual

I am now the proud owner of a JLC Master Perpetual in RG(model 149.24.2a) that a dear friend of mine has agreed to part with. He hardly ever wore it and it is stunning. I have the beautiful white box and warranty papers, however he has misplaced the instr...

Hi , I just scanned the portion of the jlc manual referring to the master perpetual (I also going to mail me a copy in case I lost the manual, to get it archived forever, because you never know...) By the way a little tip, use a toothpick or similar inste... 

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that was fast! ; I tried to place my email in the original post, but there is some security feature that would not allow it. My email is kyoung08 at AOL dot com. I currently wear a ss/gold Daytona with the Zenith movement and as beautiful as that wat...

Hi, well I understand you perfectly, when I was in a hunt for my perfect watch, I knew I wanted a perpetual as I very much like the pursuit of perfection in all endeavors (platonic guy), to my knowledge there are very few perpetuals with year indicator an... 

I'm wearing it now!

Perpetual for me is the only way. When I hit the corrector for the first time everything moved and it said Jan 1, 2007, so I pushed and pushed until today 12/15/07 Saturday. It's on my wrist and the Daytona will have to sleep for awhile. This is an absolu...

The perpetual is among my favorite pieces, but it is sadly one that you would leave behind in the winder when you go travel, especially across the International Dateline from Asia to America. Still, it is one spectacular piece from JLC, no contest about i... 

Love it

You are right that adjusting it for distant time changes due to travel would not be ideal. I am absolutely taken by the thinness and lightness of this watch and it is just beautiful to look at. I have always worn heavier watches(Sub, Daytona, etc) and I b...
