For the first time in the history of the SS and Two Tone Skydwellers, owners all across the world will have the privilege to change the date in a week's time.

What we do then will make history. I want you all to enjoy your cake, so..... enjoy.

Ugh!!! It’s hard changing the date on my Sky Dweller. I have to watch the you tube tutorial every time

G'ed · 22 February 2018, 05:16 PM

Ah, the “annual” ritual.

Change the bezel from Neutral position (clockwise until unable to turn further) to Date position by turning the bezel 1 notch CCW then pull out the crown. Change the date and screw the crown back and return the bezel to Neutral. Done.

Wait, it’s Feb 22... not Feb 28 yet.

That's why perpetual calendars are so much more practical.

Spoonage · 22 February 2018, 10:51 PM

That's why no date watches are even more practical. Lolz. But I would absolutely love to own a SkyDweller. Problem is I rotate through watches and don't use a winder so the more complications the worse off I am so I'll stick with my Plain Jane GMT and SubC for now.

Dang! This makes it easy. Thanks

ZOOK · 27 February 2019, 04:37 AM

Quick reminder to my fellow SkyDweller owners. It's that time of year again.

gmac · 27 February 2019, 05:01 AM

I would take a SS skydweller off someones hands at MSRP if they are too inconvenienced by the date change.

calicious · 27 February 2019, 05:09 AM

I did not know this was a thing. Interesting!

But the big question remains - will I change the date to 29 or 31

(before the midnight)

Rrpdc · 27 February 2019, 06:56 AM

I always wonder how many owners of annual or perpetual actually keep them wound?

datejustrms · 27 February 2019, 08:37 AM

It's a piece of cake.

I love the practicality of a no date watch. Great thing about the SS Daytona is it's a no date with 72 hour power reserve. Certainly is a favorite mine and need to add a no date Sub next

Amochosto · 27 February 2019, 08:55 AM

Judging by the title, can I, as a Steel and Gold SkyDweller owner, ignore this advice?

No because both you and the OP are owners of the Rolesor Sky Dweller....at least technically

You kidding right? It’s as easy as changing the date in a sub after you turn the bezel to the first position. The SkyDweller is one of the easiest annual calendar watch out there to set any function of the watch. The command bezel is an amazing shortcut tool.

I was completely off my rocker

. I can’t speak for other annual calendar time pieces but as for the SkyDweller, I would imagine that it is one of the easier watches to change when it hits the 1st of March. Sincere apologies to all. I have been taking some heavy pain medication due to a somewhat severe shoulder surgery. I damaged my labrum, rotator cuff, and bicep while fighting the Malibu fires last November and the medication affects my thought process

. I’m very embarrassed.

Gentlemen, rotate your date wheels.

Phooi · 1 March 2020, 04:03 AM

Can I say that I like that this thread exists? It shows up once a year as a reminder of how fortunate we are to have this unique watch.

I am looking forward to making my first annual calendar reset tomorrow.

I’ve never changed the date in a sub. Confined space date change.
