Re: changing time and date

In Response To: changing time and date ()

Yes.

It is generally NOT a good idea to change the date on a mechanical watch within +/-2 hours of midnight. Remember, the watch is mechanical, so uses gears and other components to advance the date. So manually changing the date while the automatic mechanism is engaging can push the gears out of alignment. Normally, this does not cause damage, but can alter the exact time that the date will change--usually further from midnight.
