Date Change Issue
I have an Explorer II 216570 and have noticed that the date does not change at midnight. It changes at 12:07 or 12:08am. Is this normal for this model or should I take it in to my AD to have it looked at. I bought it new in November. Thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

It is a hand alignment issue.
Personally I would not have a watch opened for this.

Yes, normal.
Some change at midnight, others change later. I would not open it up for this. |

Normal however if you’re advancing the hands manually then the date changes instantly at 12 sharp.

Yeah, my DJ41 changes between 12:07 a.m. and 12:08 a.m. not a big deal and pretty normal. Not all Rolex change at exactly 12:00 a.m..

Many watches start changing at or around midnight but don't finish until much later. Rolex does a good job of the date jump compared to other brands.
I would not bother with a service for something so minor. Now, If my watch were perfect, then serviced, and then the date was changing at 1am, I'd definitely get those hands reset.

Being a watch nerd, I took 6 watches and watched for the change. Two were real close to dead on, one was dead on and the rest were 3-5 minutes after. |

No big deal. The gear date change is in sync from 10 PM to 2 AM on most watches.
