My new SubC, turned to the 8th and exactly 12:04 AM instead of at exactly 12:00 AM. Is something wrong with my watch? Thanks

NIHO · 8 May 2018, 02:09 PM

nope, working perfect!

Jack T · 8 May 2018, 02:15 PM

Not sure when my DJ flips, I’m hardly ever up that late !!

GradyPhilpott · 8 May 2018, 02:18 PM

It's normal for the date to change a few minutes before or after midnight.

minute_man · 8 May 2018, 03:14 PM

It's normal

WatchGuy1966 · 8 May 2018, 03:19 PM

My 3186 movement also changes at 12:04:20

You · 8 May 2018, 03:38 PM

It's normal for it to be a few minutes off.

Ruud Van Driver · 8 May 2018, 03:53 PM

They’re all slightly different and yours is fine.

My Panerais take about twenty minutes to completely change. If you want something to change immediately at midnight on the dot, get a G-Shock.

AEC · 8 May 2018, 04:13 PM

Mine flips over at exactly... oh... wait...

lol. Beautiful watch by the way.

RollieRoll · 8 May 2018, 04:35 PM

It has to do with the watch maker and how the positioned the hands. Mine does change within a minute of 1200.

No big deal. Just enjoy and sleep.

It is suppose to as per the almighty- Rolex. But sadly it doesn't! They use an old technology, you cannot expect perfection from them or any other mechanical watches. It annoyed me a lot too!

You will get over it.

I don't recall Rolex ever having said that the change is exactly at midnight, only that the change is instantaneous.

Your sarcasm is offensive and unappreciated.

Rolex did not only say at midnight, but at the stroke of midnight, at least for the DD:

Offensive though? Come on friend.

I generally find myself appreciating your input on TRF, but in this case, really it's just a watch, being offended over what the guy said about Rolex is personalizing it a bit much.

Well, I gave a genuine reaction to your comment about Rolex and their standards and I stand by it.

You know what I'm speaking of.

Thanks for the clarification regarding the advertisement.

It wasn’t my comment. And if there’s some history between you two I’m not aware of it.

Anyway they are supposed to flip exactly at midnight and don’t. End of the world? No, but it’s not wrong to expect more from Rolex.

There is nothing wrong with watch the date change is a mechanical process its not like flicking a electrical switch.

mikeps2006 · 8 May 2018, 07:30 PM

Never noticed. Cool to know this.

I have no idea when mine change. Never really cared.

Andad · 8 May 2018, 08:20 PM

One of mine changes at midday Peter.

Probably because I bought it in Oz?
