Or has anyone else sat with their watch approaching midnight just to see exactly when the date clicks over? Just asking 'cos I've never seen it and I'm doing it now!

I did it once.

I changed about two or three minutes after, I think.

It's an interesting exercise, but it isn't that big a deal and most seem to scoff at the idea of the importance of the exact time that it changes.

It's the quickness of the change that interests me more than the exact time it takes place.

hahahah, exactly. I was thinking the same. Just set the time to a few minutes before midnight...no need to stay up late.

jatco · 21 November 2010, 10:56 AM

Can honestly say I have ever bothered have been out way past midnight over the many past years but waiting for a date to change.Well then that was the least of my priorities,now getting on a bit and in my mature years.Now for me a goods night sleep and when I wake up and find I am still alive and breathing thats all that matters to me now.

mitchy · 22 November 2010, 05:29 PM

i can say mine is perfect snaps at 12:04:12 every time :D

Grissom · 22 November 2010, 05:35 PM

The date changes at midnight? Hahahaha!

conrail · 23 November 2010, 01:13 AM

Admittedly yes - I used to do it with my Breitling Chrono Superocean. I "unfortunately" don't get to do that with my Daytona now haha.

Kokyuryoku · 23 November 2010, 01:28 AM

I did that the first night I had my Sub and then again the second night just to make sure
