Every time it feels like doing it. That means nearly every day, but only while I'm asleep.

I feel sorry for those that are "dateless" on a Friday night. Wow, I apologize in advance for the corny joke. I just couldn't resist!

LOL! I guess the first watch up Everest and the Daytona can hang out together on Friday to keep each other company! Okay, I really got to stop!

I checked mine the other night after I had to roll them ahead for May. The Sub and the DJ both must have changed right at midnight or just after within the minute. Not bad!

I have observed mine once or twice only. It happened before 1 minute past IIRC.

My SD used to change over at about 4 minutes after midnight. I just have it back from service and when I am setting it by hand it turns exactly at midnight. I have been too tired at night to catch it changing.

Sub Date - I keep it on a bedside nightstand and when I have been awake to hear it that "click" comes between 12 and 12:05.

My advice to you is stop worrying about your watch its all perfectly normal for any mechanical watch.Same for the minute hands etc just wear and enjoy your watch for the next few decades in good health thats the more important.

Hi Padi, as you know, I just get this exciting new watch , always hope that everything is perfect---I know a mechanical watch cant be, but, just can't stop thinking/worrying about it. I think after sometime when my excitement is gone,then, that is the time I can calm down and enjoy my wonderful time engine.

Thank you very much for your advice, I will certainly take it.
