16750 date adjustment and operating hints

Hi All - still learning operation of my 16750.
Can I adjust the date backward - from 31 to 30 - or is it safer to forward adjust all the way from 31 to 30?

Same question with the hands.

Any oddities or hints about operating the 16750?
Thanks
Russ

I believe that a 16750 is a slow set date. you should only roll the hands clockwise and avoid going in reverse or counter clockwise. its time consuming to roll the date along. a good watch winder can help in these cases when its not worn for periods. harry

Russ the 16750 is quick-set. Doesn't take long at all to scroll through the date.
