How to make DATE Change AT Exactly MIDNIGHT

SS Sub 16610. I know this is probably a stupid question, but I can't figure it out. My date changes about 20 seconds after 12. Is there even a way to do it?
Any Help would be highly appreciated.
I was also wondering what was cosc standards?

Nope.

COSC Standards = -4 to +6 per day.

Pull out the crown for 20 seconds.



Or try to sleep.



Don' bother just enjoy the watch.

Let's just hope nobody ever asks you for the date in exactly those 20 seconds. That could be an embarrassing moment ...

Set your watch with an atomic clock and check it in 24 hours.

Google atomic clock.

Exactly, you have to move the hands to suit.

Most 3185 movements change around 1 to 5 seconds past midnight.

Only observed this a few times, other times I am in bed curled up with a Rolex book.

Haven't checked lately, but mine used to change at 00:03:20. No biggie.

Over the last 21 days, it lost 5 seconds total. Dates flip when they want to, IMHO.
