Thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread. I picked up a Christmas gift to myself in early December (126710BLNR…couldn’t have been more surprised after a 9month wait) and don’t usually see midnight. With it being New Year’s and all, I was excited to watch it change date at midnight but alas, it did not happen. Then 1…2…3..4 minutes past and nothing. Just before 5 minutes after it flipped. I was concerned to say the least but appreciate hearing this is normal. I will see how my DJ (3235 movement) and Sub (3135 movement) handle the date change for giggles but for now, am appreciative of another day and this being the only “major problem” headed into 2024.

Happy New Year!

My Sub, a 16610, from 2003, changes the date at 4 minutes and about 10 seconds after midnight. Only varies about a second or two from day to day. and of course, changes instantly. Its been instructive reading these posts and seeing that my watch is within specs. Thanks to all who have shared their experiences.

Cannot see why as long as date as changed by morning when you wake up and you can see its changed now thats far more important.As it proves you are still alive and enjoy wearing your Rolex watch for another day or decades to come in good health..

Other automatic watches I’ve had in the past show the date changing very gradually around midnight. Eg an old Tag I have, it’s evident the date wheel is moving from about 23.50 then it clicks through the last of the actual change at 00.02.

My current model (Explorer II 226570 so 3285 movement) doesn’t move at all until about 00.06 then changes very suddenly.

Is this something thats generally accepted and what causes it? eg a slight misalignment or design of the movement and how far out would be expected? I’ve had the watch a month and it’s only about 2 seconds off my iPhone over 30 days from initially setting it so surprised the date change is so much less precise. (Not that I desperately need to know the date in those 6 minutes but just interested!)
Thats normal.
