Does your watch date flip over exactly at midnight?

That's funny, my Pelagos used to flip over exactly too but none of my Rolexes do.

Come on, is there nothing else in the world to get ballistic over? Did you make it up with your wife, I hope so. Poor lady.

Simple for a watchmaker to reposition the hands,

This is an old thread. But yeah, we made up over that -- she's found plenty of other things to be mad at me about since though!

There are better things to be doing in bed at midnight than staring at your watch.

So all Rolex quick set date change mechanisms have the capacity to change over within say +/- 60 seconds to midnight. Some GMT movements have a bit more slack in the dial train which can make this more challenging when aligning the hands. That said, if a watchmaker puts in the time and effort, greater precision IS absolutely achievable. Funny enough, of all the reels I've ever posted, this one so far has the most attention: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1UnG2irqdL/
