If you have a Rolex with a date function this question is for you. Last night nearing midnight I found myself facing a choice. Continue to pick the lint from my belly button or observe the hands on my Exp II all line up pefectly at the top of the dial. I choose the later and saw something interesting. When the watch struck midnight the date did not change. It continued to stay on the previous date until approx 12:03:46 at which time the date flicked to the next number. Anybody ever see this? Is this normal. The watch is only a couple of weeks old. Anybody have a thought. thinking:

I'd say, continue picking lint and don't worry about it.

It depends. What are you doing with the liberated lint upon removal?

rfknauss · 16 April 2010, 09:16 AM

You are very lucky to have that Exp II. It is in fact the very rare ExpII FC (Flux Capacitor). I only know of 2 to exist. It's capable of slowing time by exactly 3 minutes 46 seconds. Wear it in good health.

Is this the 1.21 Jigawatt version?
