I bought this clock a few weeks ago in Amazon, the supply was there in three days. After adjustment of the German city codes the clock indicated after a few seconds the exact time and date, but first in the English style, ie 12 hour display and other date order. Following the instructions in the manual switching to German standard and 24 hour display in a few minutes was done. The clock is ticking syncron exact second with other radio clocks in my house. I am very pleased with this clock and can recommend, especially as the price is quite reasonable only.
