Crane Viceroy ladies 3 button watch, how do I recalibrate after new battery?

I have found a few suggestions about how to recalibrate other Crane and Vicaroy watches, but I can't seem to find any answers about how I can reset my ladies 3 button watch. I have been trying for days, pressing the buttons in various sequences and have probably almost run the new battery down by now. I can't get the hands to the 12 o'clock position at all, and somethimes the hands whizz round for ages but then go right past the correct time and I'm back to square one. Please can anybody help?

remove battery and wait 10 seconds, replace battery. press and hold button 1 until second hand starts turning fast. wait until all hands are nearly 12.00, then press button 1 once, the second hand will stop. now each single press of button 1 will advance 1 second, do this until all hands are at 12.00. now you need to set this calibration by pressing button 2.
then press button 1 & 2 and hold until hands move release and wait for and to move to correct time.
