Date Change accuracy

[nagano2125]

Hi,

Just curious as to when, if you even know, does your date change on your watch? I would think it would happen exactly when my watch hits midnight, however last night I was up past then w/my new Exp2 and it didn't happen till approx 00:05-00:07 time frame. Not sure if this is something normal, to be concerned about etc.

A while back I purchased my wife and myself Tag Heuers, in quartz. Mine always changed exactly at 00:00 with hers always changing once again 5-7 minutes after, but these were quartz and totally different watches so I do not want to base my experience off of them.

Thanks

PS I posted a thread 2-3 days ago stating my watch did not change date even at 15 min after midnight, I took some advice and "zeroed" the hands, and it helped, I believe this is something different, if anything at all.

Midnight for me. My wife's after service was 3am.

Nothing to worry about at all - it's perfectly normal.

You must remember Rolex is mechanical and not electronic the date change could be a little before midnight or a little after and all perfectly normal.If I was you get some sleep and as long as date has changed by next morning,and you can see its changed now that's far more important than worrying when the date changes.

A minute or two after midnight if I remember correctly

Mods, feel free to delete this post, I didn't have luck finding my question with a quick search of the forum, however google lead me to multiple threads, from this forum...

Just for piece of mind for you members, I am not up past MN watching my watch cause I want to. It is when work ends for me.

Good point and I used to work the 3rd shift many, many mango seasons ago. I wore a no-name dive watch and it managed to click over within a minute.

But on the other hand, it would lose almost a minute per day!

I agree with all the responders within 7 minutes of midnight is nothing to worry about.

Meanwhile my DJ changes over at roughly speaking 19 seconds before midnight - I love watching happen if I happen to be up, wearing it that day, and don't forget to look.
