HMM! My SS GMT IIC just changed its date two minutes BEFORE midnight!

Yes, that's right!

TWO minutes BEFORE midnight!

Yesterday, it changed to minutes PAST!

Never happened to me with any other Rolex watch I've owned!

Obviously, it's a fake, Bo. Take it back to your AD and ream him out for selling you a piece of garbage.

Yeah pay out on your AD

Mine didn't change at all last night, but then I must have set it 12 hours out of sync, I'm going to hammer my AD for that

Well, I have noticed that the flick of the date also depends on wrist activity.

If you are just sitting there quietly - all WIS-like - studying when the date shifts, often the date changes 3 minutes past or so.

In this case, I was typing when I heard the distinct CLICK and I noticed that the date had changed to the 19th.
