The time my DJ2 switched date last night was more than 5 minutes into the new day; anyone else have a Rolex that changes so late into the new day?

[PanosI]

No problem Lee.

From what I've read they all switch over at different times. I'm not 100 percent sure but maybe some seasoned members can chime in.

Yes my blnr did that same thing

[HogwldFLTR]

I'm assuming it will always change at 00:05:05; kind of changing like clock work.

My GMT2c usually changes around 0003 hours.

I very seldom make it to midnight anymore! I mean past 9pm

I'm pretty anal about my watches, but the one thing that I am clueless on is what time my watches change over...if I'm up that late I'm not looking at my watch...

From what I understand, however, is that's a relatively easy fix with a good watchmaker if it bugs you.

5 min past midnight here. I don't find it too alarming if im honest. It changed to a new date, that's all that matters.

I have had them change before and after 12. As long as they change before morning I am happy:)

[Old Expat Beast]

That's fine. It depends on how the hands are fixed, it's not a movement issue.

[watchnutty]

I've never been awake to see the change so I have no idea about my blnr.

[crowncollection]

if it really bothers you have the hands reset

[perf0rmance]

My DJ is just under 3min past midnight.

[Jack T]

Like others, have never seen the change over.

Not bothered, not worried, not wanting to change it; all my other watches are closer to midnight, however. As far as not being up for midnight, I work from 6 PM till 6 AM so it is rare that I'm not up for midnight. Last night strangely (or not) I happened to be getting ready for bed at 11:55 PM and thought I'd keep an eye on my watch to see it change over. About three minutes past I was wondering if the watch was correctly set. Two minutes later it changed. I was thinking, how could I not recognize it being incorrectly set; that wasn't the case. It's just a late changing watch.

Regarding the ease of getting hands changed to correct the problem. All the watch makers in the area seem to want to do full over hauls and not just things like replace crystals or swap dials. It seems that they want to get as much money as possible coming in. Anyone know of a shop in the Boston area that will do such trivial work as change hands or replace crystals and dial? If I ship a watch away it is likely a $70 to $80 dollar fee just for insurance and shipping. Nothing trivial about getting minor watch repairs done, imho.
