BTW....forgot to mention that Rolex DID have a model that had an extra section in their movement. It was specifically set up to allow precision adjustment to the date switchover at exactly midnight. It never caught on, (extra purchase AND servicing cost!)... as i suspect the fact that it just isn't THAT important to most of us. In this case....."close" is good enough.
