DayDate II won't change day & date at midnight

[karsal]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, I tried researching this subject but couldn't find an answer.

 

I recently bought a DayDate II from Trusty Time and I'm having a little issue that I hope you guys can help with.  When I first got the watch and set the time, day, and date, everything was fine and it was switching the day and date at midnight just fine.

 

After not wearing it for about 4 days, I set the day and date, but now it won't switch day and date at midnight, it does so either at noon, or at 3pm.  I've tried changing the day/date at noon and at midnight to maybe offset it, but no change.  

 

Is there a trick to this to make sure it changes day/date at or around midnight?

 

Thanks in advance

What movement does your watch have? Also note that changing the day/date when the time is near midnight can cause damage to your movement.

Thank you for the info.  It has the "Nickle Plated Asian Clone (Rolex 3156) Automatic Movement, 25J, 28800bph"  it's basically a modified Asian ETA.

Most likely the date change mechanism got damaged. Unfortunately you have to repair the watch and the top of the movement has to come apart to set it back up. Contact mymanmatt, he should be able to get you going again and he is conus
