: Hello,

: I recently reset the day on my Omega Speedmaster 3523, which has
: Omega 1151 movement. I reset the day because I hadn't worn it
: for a week. The time stopped around 0325 when I set the day.
: After I set up the day I realize I am not supporse to do that
: between "9pm to 4pm" from Omega instruction. And I did
: some research on Valjoux 7751 movement instruction, and most of
: them state "Do not set the day between 8pm to 2am". I
: am really anxious that I might have damaged my watch.... Any
: thoughts?? I guess I just need a expert to tell me it should be
: fine so I can sleep at night...! I am pretty sure it won't
: happen again!

If the date change is working normally, I suspect the watch is fine. Usually what happens is that it causes the date change to move from midnight to several mins before or after. If this is the case, no big deal, just have it reset at the next service. If the date change is not working at all or resetting at wierd times, like mid afternoon or morning I might have it looked at. Personally, one of my Omegas date setting occurs about 20 mins to midnight. Since im rarely up to notice it, I could care less as long as it changes over.
