girlinshanghai Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys I just received my new IWC Mark XVI V2 watch from one of the TDs here. It looks great to me, but have a problem adjusting the date. Traditionally, the date can be adjusted by unscrewing the crown and pulling it to the first position. Mine doesn't work, and to change the date I need to pull the crown to the second position and adjust 24 hours on the hour and minute hand. Any DIY solution to this or advice on how I can resolve this myself? i am about to get a blister on my thumb for adjust 1 to 27! TIA! I will post some pictures after I clean up this little one Edited March 27, 2013 by girlinshanghai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlinshanghai Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Dial looks okie, not very obvious tilt to the left. sweeping movement looks fine Crown is rough and sharp at the edges - is sanding this advisable? Strap - have not treated it yet. Edited March 27, 2013 by girlinshanghai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 What do you feel when you turn the crown in the first position? Resistance, noting, clicking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlinshanghai Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 What do you feel when you turn the crown in the first position? Resistance, noting, clicking? Hi Rolexman, but I can feel clicking and slight resistance. After fiddling with the crown for a long time and scoring myself a slight blister on my thumb (for real ), I managed to change the date but only at a very uncomfortable first position (bascially a trial and error position between the first and second position. Every time I try to change it again I need to spend another couple minutes trying to find that "position") -> is this good enough a solution or something else I can do? Also, not sure if tis is a problem but I realized that the date changes at 2355 for each date. Is this normal? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
