Well you were not fooled exactly ,you were somehow convinced (not fooled) that it was 8 day by the dial etc.
Its like reading the manual of a device that tells you it does this and that and then you find that it does not and that the manual is
generic to include larger models that do indeed have these features! :lol:

Since i am not an expert on 3 days ,7,8 days on so on ,is there a way to tell right away ?
Like double ,triple barrels or larger springs etc.. ??
