So tell the truth, how many have watched their watche/s at midnight to see if the date changed at the same minute it does when manually advancing?

New SubC changed at 0003 must need a service already to get it fixed

I watch my Milgauss every night.

I am denied this "pleasure" due to owning a 14060m!

Speed · 2 May 2011, 08:08 AM

I have.

Lots of folks get worried on this site when their date does not change with a snap at midnight - hence, lots of worried postings!

esm · 2 May 2011, 08:13 AM

nope - never have and probably never will.

(have better things to do really )

"Lots of folks get worried on this site when their date does not change with a snap at midnight "

I would guess Rolex must have some type of QC limits for this, + - 5 min? I've seen 2359and now 0003. Is there a standard? Not that its really that bid a deal for most but how hard is it really to time/tune a mechanical change straight up at 0000.

Are there factors that vary this: wear (little/lots), normal bumps and knocks or wind state (thinking more of the instant change part here)

It has to do with the alignment of the planets and stars.

"nope - never have and probably never will." I thought being a WIS required at least some degree of OCD

Just on my masters right now but the Dr should be around hte corner if it gets any worse

i have one, but that's not going to be an easily fixable one...

the Rolex logo on the crown isnt always upright

(im over that now...)

cdnwatchguy · 2 May 2011, 08:21 AM

I rarely even bother to set the date anymore.

rolexsweep · 2 May 2011, 08:56 AM

ive done it... wait till 12.01... nothing happen gave up and went back to what i was doing originally, nothing.

beowulf566 · 2 May 2011, 09:11 AM

Never even really thought about it.........but I will next time im up at midnight

sherwin · 2 May 2011, 10:02 AM

Looked at it for curiosity sake. Couldnt be arsed since.

threemonkeys · 2 May 2011, 10:12 AM

Never thought of it. But now I want to check it out.

dddrees · 2 May 2011, 10:14 AM

Never have, seriously doubt that I ever will.

However when preparing one of my watches to be worn after it has stopped, I generally look as it passes 12 to see if the date changes.

TKB · 2 May 2011, 10:21 AM

I have. My DD Is crisp and switches both day and date the second it hits midnight. My DJ seems to have a 15 second delay from time to time. Yes I have done this on more than one occasion. I started paying attention after noticing the occasional delay on my DJ.

Watch Professor · 2 May 2011, 10:26 AM

Really? Mine changes exactly at 12:00..........noon.

This is a sign, your watch knows you are in the wrong time zone, time to move

Onikage · 2 May 2011, 10:42 AM

X2, can't remember the last time, unless it was a long driving trip.

Manofsteelpt · 2 May 2011, 11:30 AM

I'm sleeping long before midnite, I'd be interested to see though.

cedargrove · 2 May 2011, 11:28 AM

Once - a little over 2 minutes after midnight.

Michael M. · 2 May 2011, 11:30 AM

I have done it once with a Rolex Submariner Date, an Omega seamster, and a IWC. It was pretty cool.

Chipmunk · 2 May 2011, 11:44 AM

Never have but the date is always correct in the morning when I check it........

except for one day during the of months Sept, April, June, November and Feb.

johnny80s · 2 May 2011, 12:19 PM

Yep... Have done it many times

MortgageGuy · 2 May 2011, 12:20 PM

Yes I have but not in a long time... Used to worry about it but now I could care less, not sure why but doesnt bother me anymore
