Vintage Rolex DD Question

[cam94jp]

Hello,

I own a Rolex DD Model #1803.

My issue is this: When the day and date change, they do so some time before midnight..like hours before. Is this normal for this model? If not, does it just need to be brought in for servicing? It is also not a fast click to change, more like you can see the day turning slowly, and the date gets blocked by a piece of gold for a time before the new date shows.

The mechanism has been determined to be authentic rolex, so that is not an issue.

Thanks,

Joe

Joe, I have seen many a older DD do exactly the same as yours. It just needs servicing to syncro the change. Have it serviced at the RSC and it will be good as new.

It is a minor service issue, no big deal
