What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional

That was absolutely fascinating to read as I'd never known such a complication existed.

Photography was beautiful.

Thanks, this was a great read and now I want one.

Have a great day and thanks for the great read.

What a great read- thank you. I may now be a GO fanboy. My first job required us to use week numbers for every date.. this would have been rather useful (and unobtainable) back then.

I assume from your description that the day, date and week changes are all simultaneous and instantaneous.

Yes, that's right, the only thing you need to adjust is the date at the end of the month when the month does not have 31 days.
New week starts every Monday 00:01 and when there are 53 weeks this can also be set manually.
