New Year, New watch!

Pop in a local Boutique in Hong Kong on Dec 24 and leave my details & business card, lucky enough to received a call on Dec 31 with a ROO 26470ST offer. After a day long consideration and pick up my first AP with a free black rubber strap on Jan 1, it really made my day and year...

Observed the watch for a week, weird thing is it never change day at 00:00 sharp. Is it normal to you guys?

It’s always a bit beyond midnight when the date changes on any mechanical watch I’ve owned.

A lovely piece - congratulations

My diver changes a few minutes past midnight too. It’s nothing unusual or to be concerned with.

As long as the date has changed on my watches when I wake up in the morning I’m good.

You could have it taken apart and have them pin the hands exactly at midnight?

If you really need to?

Do you have a choice of dial with that model?

That sounds interesting, but I won’t bother to do that if u guys tell me thatz normal. i will leave it as is and get used to it...

My wish list:

(1) 15202IP
(2) 15710ST

Most probably will get the 15710ST, but if they are generous enough to offer me the 15202IP, i m happy to take that...
