Just finished rolling my daily 1603 around to the first.

I feel your pain..

Dan S · 2 March 2021, 02:37 AM

I set myself free a few years ago by deciding to ignore the date entirely.

With these slow set beauties, I don't even bother, except the time.

I am wearing a 6 digit today, but every bit as annoying. Why does the Exp. II not have a quickset date. Just set the date on my wife’s watch as well which is a 4 digit, I think it’s actually less annoying on a 4 digit as it’s more understandable versus doing this on essentially a new watch.

Setting the date is a great job to do during the morning...movement.

SunTzu wins, I'm not classy enough to run a meters first.

2Redbulls · 2 March 2021, 03:44 PM

Having the wrong date would trigger some OCD from me and I'm not OCD.

Mike Wood · 2 March 2021, 05:24 PM

Still in lockdown here...

Could be the 1st, 7th, 14th or 22nd. Really doesn't matter.

Pandemics and non-quickset date Rolexes go hand in hand!

⌚😂

kidneymd · 2 March 2021, 10:49 PM

I actually rolled the date on my 1601 from 28 to 31 the night before so that it would be correct when I woke up the next morning.

1675-David · 3 March 2021, 01:49 AM

did someone say MF 5513?

swaini3 · 3 March 2021, 02:34 AM

Nice pics gents

214270Explorer · 3 March 2021, 03:25 AM

Changing those old watches is good physical exercise.

Nick9 · 3 March 2021, 04:03 AM

Slow off the mark, just got around to it (March 2). Took a few seconds longer...

Hope it’s okay to post here without a Sub picture? :)

adrew488 · 4 March 2021, 01:25 AM

Nowadays I am just patient enough to wait until the date nears closer and I am within 4-8 rotations. Otherwise will just reach for a no date watch or a quick-set.

77T · 4 March 2021, 01:36 AM

That’s what you get for not buying a 6263

I just wind my 1603 backwards one or two days.

Didn't know that fingers cramp exist until I have a four digit Rolexes
