Re: Date Change
In Response To: Date Change ()

Congratulations on your Seamaster Pro!
1. From what I understood, it is highly recommended not to change the day/date on any mechanical watch between 9:00 p.m. and 3.00.a.m.
2. It is also highly recomended not to place a watch unnecessarily into any kind of water, especially soap water.
If you follow the two recommendations, it will prolong the life of your watch significantly.
