...times is that you can throw the date change out of alignment. So instead of the date changing between 11.58pm and 12.05am (as it does on my Bond SMP Auto), you may find that it will change around one or two am. The Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement is prone to this happening if you fiddle with the date too often between these times. I have a customer who owns a Breitling Navitimer and the date on his watch changes at approx 3.00am.
According to the manager of our repair department, the date change takes a full six hours from start to finish. I did hear once that you can strip the 'teeth' on the date wheel if you change the date at the wrong times. If that happens, no Authorised repairer will fix it under warranty because they will know that it's been changed at the wrong times. However, something tells me that this is more a watchmaking urban myth rather than fact.
At any rate, folks, for peace of mind, don't change the date between 8.00pm and 2.00am.
