Hi Folks.

Recently, I have not been able to advance the date via the crown. However, I can advance the hands and the date will turnover. Seems to keep the date fine this way.

Has anyone ever had this happen? Not sure if it is a known issue / if the "quickset" mechanism is misaligned. Not keen on sending it to Clearwater, but certainly will if I have to.

Thanks!

step 1. set your time to 06:00

step 2. push back the crown to the date change

step 3. you can now advance onto a different date.

this is the case with all AP watches where the time needs to be set to 06:00 before you can advance date using the crown.

Just tried that. Afraid the crown just spins round.

Sounds like service time. The date on my 15400 advances with the crown pulled out to the first position and it does not need to be set to 6 o'clock. Never heard of that before.

Has anyone ever heard of the date NOT advancing via the crown setting?
