Re: Seamaster Date Change . . .

In Response To: Seamaster Date Change . . . ()

: So, what exactly happens if you try to change
: the date between 8pm and 2am? I have read
: that is is not reccomended, can someone
: explain what happens? And, no. I do not plan
: to do it. Just curiuos.

From the Owners Zone of this website:

What happens is that if you alter the date setting while the date change gear is near to pushing the date forward, you may push the mechanism slightly out of alignment. This seldom causes any real damage, though it can. Most often, it will shift the time that the date change occurs--usually further from midnight.

The good news is that this is easily corrected when the watch is being serviced. Simply mention the date change is off when you send the watch in for its routine cleaning or other service.
