Re: Seamaster date problems
In Response To: Re: Seamaster date problems ()

: Remember, a watch doesn't understand AM and PM.
: It only knows a 12 hour cycle and that it
: needs to change the date every OTHER time it
: passes 12:00.

: So likely, your date will change at 12 NOON
: today -- meaning you need to advance your
: watch by 12 hours so it changes at 12
: MIDNIGHT instead.
Thank you for the help and I'll give that a try - in another area of this site I read that you can disrupt the date change mechanism if you change the date +3/4 hours on either side of midnight - do you think that this problem may have occured with mine?
