Newest Bulova - setting problems?

[Plato]

This is a great watch I just got... though I paid far too much for it - ebay fever



I have a problem in that I just cant set the damn thing - can anyone advise who has one, or do you have a set of instructions please? I am wondering if the module is faulty as it seems to have reset itself twice - the time "jumped" out of sync. Or maybe I am not setting it correctly. The seller sent some instructions as follows:

"Get a ballpoint or something pointed that won't scratch and depress the inverted button. Each time you do that it should take you through hours, minutes, day etc. You simply press the usual button to increase the numbers". that doesn't work for me. When I insert a pen it changes the hours. When I reinsert it and press the button at 3 oclock it resets to 0 or goes to seconds or some other random event.

Shame if I have to return this to the seller, its beautiful to my eyes.

Assuming it has the original dot display module, setting is as fallows: Pushing crown all the way to see seconds and 8 o'clock pusher at the same time will reset seconds, hrs and date. Push the 8 o'clock pusher alone to set hrs. to set minutes push the crown to show time then push the 8 O'clock pusher , that will set minutes. to set date pull crown to show date then press the 8 o'clock pusher to set date.
