When does your rolex click over?

My 2006 Sub would flip the date over at exactly 12:00am. My new DJ2 takes approximately 3 minutes.

Mine all change before I get up in the morning. The only time I might notice is when it has stopped because I have a few and I have to reset one.

I checked mine out a couple of times and it changes a few minutes after midnight. I can't remember and honestly it's not really a matter of concern.

The important thing, in my opinion, anyway, is that the date flips instantaneously, instead of taking several hours to do so.

That's cool.

new deep sea- 00:04.

It's a minor nit, but since watches are precision-- I've got watches at far less cost that go it precisely at midnight.

The GMT is seconds after it strikes midnight. The SD is close to a minute out.

My new 7021 Tudor starts a slow migration at about 1052pm. And clicks over by about midnight. I guess the answer is NEVER AT MIDNIGHT! I still love all my inaccurate rolexes and Tudors. Harry
