Even if you make the date change manually, it will work fine for a couple of days and the problem will return. Somone has to open it up and and get the "exact" amount of oil on the wheel.

If you can live with this problem (and I think its not too big of a problem anyway), its fne. If it bothers you too much, then send it in for service. I have seen multiple threads regarding the GMT IIC with this problem.
As long as the date changes by the next morning why worry about it.When you get to a mature age its far more important to wake up breathing than watching when a date will change.Yes its possible to much or too little lubrication is on the date change mechanism, but as long as the date changes cannot see any point of getting the back off they normally bed in over a few months.
