It is also recommended to set the hands slightly ahead to compensate for the anticipated shift.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WATCH COLLE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56190700060977,"sku":"000000008778-001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/4939\/5761\/files\/1_000000008778.jpg?v=1788949924","url":"https:\/\/watch-colle.com\/en\/products\/000000008778","provider":"WATCH COLLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
