[Leica] completely ON TOPIC post about wristwatches

[shino at panix.com (Rei Shinozuka)]

ha.  try using an omega speedmaster day-date.  if you overshoot setting 
the days by one (applying just an extra foot pound per second per 
second), you have to roll through 364 days and 12 months to get back to 
where you wanted to be.

or, if you are in the months of feb,apr, jun, sept or nov and relatively 
close to the end of the month, put up with being 24-hours-displaced for 
a fortnight.
