Re: date setting

In Response To: Re: date setting *LINK* ()

: The answer to your questions is..... It could.
: The date flipping mechanism is rather
: complicated and if you change the date while
: it is in the course of 'flipping' (aka
: between 8pm and 2am) it could throw off the
: mechanism so the date would change at the
: wrong time.

: Keep in mind that the actual date change varies
: + or - 15mins from midnight. If you engage
: the date between 8pm-2am the date would veer
: out of that range.

: So in other words - Don't do it!

: Also keep in mind that it's also bad to adjust
: the time by rotating the hands backwards
: (counter clockwise) across that same time
: interval becuase the date mechansim WILL
: have trouble flipping backwards.

: Below is a link that may give a better
: explanation.

: Hope that cleared things up.

so is it normal for the date to "click over" at 11:58 instaed of 12:00?
