I was adjusting my Z-Serial LV since I have not worn it for almost a month. As I was adjusting the time and date, I noticed the date wheel display "dropped" to a lower position than in the past?

It looks off balanced

It was always centered in the past like the one on the left.
I noticed that a few of them the bottom of the number almost touches the lower edge of the window.
Anyone has the same experience? My other watches' date display are still centered.

Similar on my DD. This is a good question for one of our experts to advise.

When I put my DD in for service a couple of years ago I asked them to look at that as I was also concerned the date had dropped....they seem to have sorted it out.....now it's centered again.....it wasn't so bad before service but once you notice it there's no avoiding it every time you look at the watch.....time for a service?

This watch is just a little over 2 yr old and I had it regulated only a couple of months ago.
It's running fine but the window bothers me only when I look at it.
I'll try to live with it since it's over the 2 yr warranty period and RSC-BH has moved on.

The date is dropped like your in my 15months old Sub date.

SDDS · 24 May 2009, 08:20 PM

i think the date mechanism should be adjusted at RSC...apart from that its ok...

dkpw · 24 May 2009, 09:24 PM

As others have said your date wheel has slipped ever so slightly.

Here's one from a 3135 movement, with the quick set wheel at 3/4 and the advance tooth at 18/19.

If it were me, I'd take it in for a check up, especially if you can combine that with any other work you need doing on it. But then I am a bit OCD...

Good luck.

How does it look now a couple days later? Use the quickset run it around a month and see then?

I am having a similar issue with the day window on a Day Date.

From what people have said so far, it doesn't seem to be a big deal other than to have the day wheel adjusted.

Is it really that simple a fix??

I have to admit, maybe I'm as OCD as some others here, but I see that it's not perfectly centered every time I look at it....
