First time waiting for midnight with my Datejust

Last night it was taking a while to fall asleep, and pushing midnight I thought, "Hey, let's watch that baby snap the date!" I rolled over, and the lume was fine, but it was too dark to see the date number, so I just touched my phone to spark up a little glow.

11:59:57, :58, :59...nothin'. Hmm. I was a bit spooked. Lit the phone again and checked at 12:02...still nothin', and now I'm downright newbie-freaked. I mean, it's a 2-week-old watch, and it's a Rolex, so...hmm. I was tired, too, though---so rather than staring the whole time, I finally waited to check until about 12:05, and by then of course it had flipped.

I confess I at first was a tad disillusioned that my beautiful instantaneous date-change function drag-assed in later than the stroke of midnight...but I guess I'm just a dingus. I now have read that a few minutes plus or minus is common. And, come to think of it, this is still soooooo much better than my quartz Bulova Marine Star, whose date creeps mushily through its change across 2 or 3 or 4 horrid hours.

Live and learn...
