So I'm adjusting the time on my sub-c and when it came to 12 o'clock the date wheel stuck between the 13th and the 14th it didn't fix on the 14th untill I reached 4 o'clock, I noticed that this only happens between the 13th and the 14th. Is it normal? If not l, what should I do ?

It can happen, usually some lubricant fouling the mechanism. It can also happen if you're cycling very fast. My 1675 GMT did not like it when I cycled fast.

Dont worry when the date changes it can be a few minutes either way but could be a bit of oil on date wheel cycle month through a few times.Dont forget its a mechanical process, Rolex uses a cam system. Now sometimes they can get a bit dry so it could take and extra time for the jewel to slide off the cam it does not indicate a problem with the watch as long as date changed fully ..

I had this happen once with a DJ I owned years ago. Not sure if it was the correct thing to do but I slowly advanced the date forward through a complete cycle, coming back to the current date. The dates stuck between one another for several advances and then started to change correctly. Have to admit it had been a little over 5 years since the last service so it was due. I took in shortly afterward. Never had this problem again in the next 10 years I had the watch.

As long as the watch changes the date correct in regular use there is nothing to worry about. Just a mechanical glitch while quick adjusting. It happens.

Remember, cycle past midnight slowly.
