Date change on a Datejust
Hey, I bought my first Rolex a couple of weeks ago, it's a two tone datejust 16013.
I was watching it tonight as the time approached 12am, and for some reason it flicked the date from 27 to 28 at 11.59 and not 12. Obviously it's not a big deal, I was just wondering if this is on purpose or there is something wrong with the mechanism. Sorry if this has been discussed before, couldn't find it on the forum, thanks in advance for any help, Will. |

Jocke is just giving you a hard time OP. the date will change around midnight. Few minutes before, few minutes after. I once had a GMT which changed at 10 minutes after, without fail. No worries, you're fine

To reiterate, your watch is functioning normally.

Welcome to TRF! Nothing wrong - but your question begs for creative answers!
Hmmm...premature datejustulation... Jocke??? Don't you have a fix for that?

The date change function has no idea what time it is.
The date change function occurs after 24 rotations of the hour hand. This winds the date change mechanism and it triggers at full tension. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Date change can occur before midnite. After midnite. At midnite. You would only worry if the date change function doesn't "snap" to the next day as a Rolex date should. |

It's funny the most information came from someone who hasn't been around long, it's the same with every forum I've ever been on, some 'veterans' with large post counts thinks that's their proof of their vast knowledge. Then instead of using it to help they feel they have a right to not help those with questions which at some point they wouldn't have known the answer to themselves.
But hey, I thought premature datejustulation was clever cheers |

I would consider that watch to be darn close. Close enough for me anyway.

What is the same on all forums is the fact that long term members get bored when someone new asks a question that has been covered many times before and could have been answered with a quick search. |

Back to the subject at hand. Your watch is okay, a couple minutes before, eaxctly at midnight or a couple minutes after is fine. Congratulations on your new DJ and welcome to TRF.

As I said in my first post, Welcome to TRF! You already took the hardest step so stick around, read the reference sections about Datejusts and other informative threads in the Library. Please also consider becoming a 2013 Pledge Member.

Normal date change. Have some sleep. It's midnight somewhere in the world and a DJ will be changing date anytime soon.

I guess I don't stay up late enough to tell. I must be getting old. Great post as I learned something new today about my Rolex.

My Datejust 116200 will change anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes after midnight depending on the particular day. I haven't found any rhyme-or-reason for the difference, but as kieselguhr wrote, it snaps over immediately without hanging. The watch is a brand new random V serial and only worn for three months.

My sub advances the date at 12:06 if its any consolation. I'm usually asleep when it happens so as long as the date is correct when I wake up, I'm content.

Thanks for all the replies, I do love it here. I've been around for a while but used the account of the jewellery shop I used to work at.

My DAYtona changes date exactly at 00:00, spot on every day!
As others have said, nothing to be worried about. |
