UPDATE: Issue with GMT-IIc midnight date change

[dannyjak]

Hi guys

Been having an issue whereby the date doesnt snap correctly on my new, AD purchased GMT-IIc

I noticed the other night that at approx 11.58pm, the date half changed (didnt tick over completely to the next day). Then at about 2.00am, it changed over correctly.

After trying a few things suggested on this forum without any luck, I decided to get it looked at. Upon reading more of this forum, it appears that this issue is quite common for GMT-IIc's with one forum member having it fixed twice and for it to still come back.

So I took the watch over to the RSC (lucky they are close by to my workplace) and dropped it off for the lady there. She said she has never seen that issue before at all, and unfortunately their triage watchmaker wasnt there so it couldnt be looked at straight away. She said she would call back tomorrow on the day after to give me an update.

Funnily when I complained about the lack of quality control on such an expensive watch for such a "reputable" company, she replied...."that's what warranty is for". Now was I wrong to question why something like this would be an issue on a BNIB AUD $9500 watch? I think not and I think that was an inappropriate response from her, but I could be wrong.

Oh well, hope it gets sorted quickly and the problem doesnt come back!
