In a nut shell the answer is no its a purely mechanical process.Now some change a little before midnight some slightly after or even a few minutes after all perfectly normal

jas55 · 8 January 2009, 07:10 PM

Wouldn't worry too much if it's a little out

kudosguy · 8 January 2009, 07:11 PM

SD and LV change dead on 12, but my IIc varies =between 3-5 minutes past midnight. All watches are different.

desmoboy · 8 January 2009, 07:38 PM

Only checked this once so don't know if it's always the case, but last time I checked my LV changed 2.5 mins after 12

icomm · 8 January 2009, 07:53 PM

My Sub-date changes eveyday at 00:01
I think it depends on how the hands have been installed in respect the dial...
It is supposed to be perfect because the process of putting the hand is robotized...

limenko · 8 January 2009, 08:15 PM

My GMT IIc changes at 0:02...every watch is different, I wouldnt worry about it.

charliec · 8 January 2009, 08:42 PM

Nope, nope,nope,nope . Always a few minutes later.

Quicksilver · 8 January 2009, 08:47 PM

No problem - my Sub changes at 4 minutes past and my DJ at 1 past.

hflee55 · 8 January 2009, 08:59 PM

My Lv changes at 12.03am, SD at 12.04am, can't remember for my DSSD, GMTII & DJ....and my Sub 14060M... changes at ?

BZA · 8 January 2009, 09:32 PM

My DSSD changes at 12:04

aleeboy · 8 January 2009, 10:21 PM

My Explorer II changes around 12.03

padi56 · 8 January 2009, 10:27 PM

Myself now at mature age I am normally fast asleep at midnight.But as long as date changes by morning and I am still alive and breathing thats good enough for me.

Alcan · 8 January 2009, 11:17 PM
