Have had my 40mm YG DD just 2 weeks. In the first week I noticed the day and date didn't change until nearly 1:00 am. I told my AD and he said see how it goes.

I found a thread on here about a similar problem, so tried the suggestions but it seems to no avail

If you turn the hands using the crown both day and date change at midnight.

Letting the watch do the change, last night it eventually changed at 1:12am!!

I didn't pay mega bucks for a watch that doesn't function properly, so it's going back to the AD today and going to put my foot down a demand a new watch.

Yeah, they're not gonna give you a new watch. They'll send yours in for service. These things happen

Well there you go! Rolex have agreed a new watch.

If it's less than a month old they will apparently, according to my AD

Congrats on winning an AD battle ... Will your new watch have the same dial? Personally, it is my favorite (so far)

Surprisingly great result, but not exactly undeserving.....

I just thought that Rolex would fix your watch under warranty, but they went one better.

Well done

Well I can post one from Thursday morning at 1:12am with the watch still showing Wednesday and 11th.

How sad is that. But took it just in case my AD or Rolex didn't play ball
