Hi,here is a solution to help you out:
1. Pull the crown out one click.
A. Turn dial until function hand rests on "CAL"
2. Pull dial out one more click (should be all the way out)
A. hold down button "A" (top button) until the second hand completes one counter clockwise rotation (should be pointing at current month)
B. Press "A" button a second time and the Day/Leap year hand will move.
3. At this point spin the crown either backwards or forwards and watch as the Day/Leap year hand spins clockwise or counter-clockwise. The Date will adjust per each revolution.

However,you still have every reason to own the manual of your wrist watch for future references,so follow the link below to download the manual of your wrist watch;

There are so many aplications use of the manual will be manditory.

Use the numbers on the back of your watch and you will have a PDF version of your instruction manual.


Thanks and take care

Hope this helps as it took me using the correct movement number on the url in the previous post (for Calibre 8700 the movement number is "E870").

Check my tips. Complete Citizen manuals are there.

On mine you pull 1/2 way to set the date, to adjust the day of the week you have to go all the way around 24 hours while setting the time .

Pull the winder 1/2 way out and rotate it to set the correct day and date

Get one from here http://www.citizenwatch.com/CUK/English/settingsresults.asp?caliber=e870

The year is now 2008 a leap year. You should set the watch to leap year.
