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.

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

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.

horseShu · 8 May 2018, 06:25 PM

My 16710 flips the date a little past 12:04.

sya · 8 May 2018, 06:31 PM

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.

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

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?

Phrank · 8 May 2018, 08:23 PM

Mine Submariner flips within 20 seconds before or 20 seconds after midnight....

watchmework · 8 May 2018, 08:29 PM

Yup, that’s perfectly normal.

turn it ahead 12 more hours

horseShu · 8 May 2018, 10:24 PM

Quite some people here have theirs switch at 12:04...

Have you had it serviced at RSC recently? Had mine serviced last Sept and it's been 12:04 ever since. I can't remember what it was pre-RSC though.

No. The watch is brand new, purchased a few weeks ago. Thx

No date change over or cyclops issues with this reference!

LINVS · 9 May 2018, 02:17 AM

This is one of the few disappointments with many higher tier watches.

When the watchmaker assembles the watches, with a little care they can set the movement to "turn or switch" at a more precise moment - like midnight.
