If a watch date changes not at 12, what is wrong?

[roach7]

Just bought a Tudor 79160 Big Block but the date changes at 4:30 instead of 12. Any idea what's wrong with it and how much would it take to fix it?

Thanks for any advice

The date is mechanical so it can only change when the hour hand have travelled twice around the dial 24 hours. So the hands must be set wrong they need to be removed and re-fixed a easy job for any watchmaker.

+1

A good watch maker ALWAYS checks a date change point when the movement is out of the case....easy fix if it is wrong.

I hope you get this corrected and will not be without the watch.
