Re: Do not adjust date on your watch between 8PM -

Most modern Date watches have the quick date change. You will also see that it is possible to change the date between 8pm and 2am but you do run the risk of damage to you date mech we have just had an 1150 omega which is in the seamaster chrono come back with the date wheel broken due to the fact that the date was changed when the date wheel was in the way of the date disk. I would always advise that you never change the date in the said times if you are not sure of the position of the hands move them to 12 midday. Some watches like the 1120 will give you a second chance but never trust this as you may end up with a service cost you did not want.
