    Sick of this!!!

    Every time I wear this watch it tells the opposite time. It's made me 12 hours late for appointments. I'm thinking of just packing it all in and moving to Sydney so the thing might actually be accurate!!!

    😁 Really enjoying seeing these tintins popping up... Stylish and quirky

    Well, there is that.

    Or you could just get your head screwed on the right way instead?

    If you use a hex / Allen key on your belly button, you should be able to loosen your skull, and invert it.

    Does it hurt? I'm a bit squeamish.

    Don't do that! I knew a man who unscrewed his belly button and his bum fell off!

    You just need to get a Black & Decker, drill three holes in the other side of the case, turn the whole movement around so that the buttons stick out of your new holes, put a new battery in it and it should work fine.

    that watch looking is in the sport style.
    I suspect that maybe the watch is something wrong?

    Stand on your head and you'll be fine. Love the tintin.

    Try moving it to the other wrist, see if that helps.

    None of these solutions have worked. I now have a watch with three holes on the wrong side, no belly button and the blood is rushing to my head as I type this upside down. Cheers lads.

    Even better, send it to me, I send you another watch back, I'll even pay your shipping costs... Are you OK with a Swatch, or Casio?

    I understand it's a tintin. It's a tool watch designed to be worn like that.

    I think that's the wrong way to look at it.

    That's a big step! I would wear it in good health and see what happens.

    Good health?? After three holes in wrong places and all the bleeding and the bum falling off?
    No wonder he couldn't reply when someone said hello!
    Only thing left to do is pull the trigger on the bad boyand put it out of misery.The watch, I mean. Wayne should be bought some new shoes for all the trouble caused to him by well meaning but faulty advice. Off to sales corner to look for shoes in size 6 1/2.
