Date Change Varies
Hey TRFers,
I noticed my date change used to occur on 12:31:34 regularly, but then I noticed the change to around 2 mins past the hour. Right now I just witnessed the change occur at 12:03:06. I've seen the date change vary all of a sudden. I'm not concerned about this, but have any of you experienced this? Explanations as to why? (I'm sure Padi or one of you other Rolex gurus will have an explanation about this). PS: Yes, I am that OCD and aware of my Rolex functions that has already raised many concerns from my wife.

I just noticed that my new Sub-C just did this. Not sure what significance it may have as the watch keeps perfect time.

It means that the next day will be 3 minutes shorter.

As far as I have understood, it varies due to the state of the mainspring. All watches need some extra power to turn the date wheel.

Not sure what it means....not even real sure when the date on my new DJ changes. My former Rolex, a Date, made a loud click and you could literally feel it happen. For 21 years it always changed at 12:05.

Hey all, I'm not bothered by this in the slightest, I was just curious and thought I'd ask the experts is all. It's not taking away from the enjoyment one bit.
