When I was restoring vintage Omegas. Some dates would change within 20 minutes. Some a half hour. I had to make sure the minute hand was placed in the proper position at the start of the turning of the date and that both hands lined up at 12:00
However. That needs to be redone

Hi Don
The date on the 312 changes gradually - it does not snap In place ala Rolex.
So you are saying watches with dates that gradually change make it more of a challenge to align hands to hour markers? But I agree that the hands on my friends watch in the first two pics are way off.
Not sure if he has the patience to work via the AD - again - to send his watch to Panerai. He did not purchase from said AD.
