Crown manipulation and dates

Well I didn’t sleep much last night and very stressed that so soon after my GMT LN purchase I land at the end of the dreaded 30 day month. I was anticipating the need to make the proper adjustment and what that would entail.

However, all the worry was for naught as I only had to pull the crown one stop, advance hour hand 24 hours and it was done in seconds.

Now I can rest easy until February ends. That will be the real test!

Did the date change at midnight????
That always gives the shivers as you would expect such a watch to change at 00:00 exactly

Actually I fell asleep with my eyes open staring at it so missed the whole thing.

Hopefully that was not the most strenuous physical activity you engaged in that night!

Don't recal if my GMT2 was the same as my Sub, put the crown out one stop then another half pull and you can change the date by just turning the crown

No GMT doesn’t have that shortcut due to the next level out being for the GMT hand.
