This is a first: I went to wear an older 1803 (70s), went to adjust the day of the week to the correct day.

The dial is Spanish, so I always get a little confused

But then I noticed the number Day was flipping over 2 days at a time! So it advanced from 5 to 7 just going from Monday to Tuesday 🤔

I know it's probably just a simple adjustment, doesn't really bother me - but had never heard of that one before...

Likely s date jumper problem, btw that's not an 1803 in that configuration, if the case states 1803 it's franken sorry

Bark configuration so it's 1807.

Thanks - date jumper is new to me.

I've always been a bit confused about whether it's an 1803/7...I mostly just loved the reverse bark, seller had no idea how to remove the bracelet - and offered a good price

I've had it for a while - Authorized rolex center has never had a problem with it, so I'm not losing sleep over it.

Does this happen every time you forward the date? I have never personally witnessed a watch that jumped two dates when forwarding on that caliber. However, I have seen them advance half to one and a half when the date wheel was released.

This issue could be either worn teeth on the calendar wheel or the tension spring needs adjustments/replacement.
