independent hour hand E to display the exact date
which jumps at midnight. Then position this hand on
the exact home time – the minute hand D does not
move. Hand C and Hand E show identical hours.

while turning it gently in a clockwise direction, and
then screw it back it until you feel a slight resistance.
Do not force it!
