: No.
: Try just turning the hands forward 24 hours and
: see exactly WHERE the date does change. As
: long at the date changes ONE of the times
: when the hands are at 12, then it was
: nothing other than you being confused on how
: to set the time right.
: Now it would be different if the date changed
: at an odd time, like 2:00. But so far, it
: sounds like you have no idea yet when the
: date actually changes.
: Of course, if the date NEVER changes, that is
: different and is something broken on the
: watch.
: This is a common confusion -- people mistakenly
: assume that mechanical watches are smarter
: than they really are. People get used to
: digital clocks and watches knowing the
: difference from AM and PM and forget that
: mechanical watches operate on a simpler
: basis.
