Well, I am a perfectionist, so I would not think it is okay that the date changes 2 minutes before midnight. I don't care if the date changes 2 minutes PAST, though, or even 5 minutes past.

But if it annoys you, you can have it fixed, but it is not an easy operation since the whole movements needs to be taken out, hands taken off, then inspecting when the date changes and by that time install the hands at 12 o' clock. Much can go wrong during that operation such as making marks on the dial (or just leaving tiny dust particles on it), or leaving finger prints (smudge) on the hands (happened once for me during an RSC service of one of my SS Subs).

No problem!
