JWR Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I just got one of these in a 222, i assume it is the same movement in the 090 (date quick chagne button at 8 oclock on the case) It is changing the date at 9 pm instead of midnight. Any idea if this is common? Fixable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Just figure your new day starts a little earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Easy fix... Uncase the movement, and set the movement in a movement holder. Reinsert the stem, and roll the time over to 9:00 (or whenever the date transition takes place). Remove the minute and hour hands, and reseat them at 12:00. The date will now snap over at midnight. Recase, and you're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 thanks ubi! I assume it has to be fully wound down.... so it'll be a while... it's impossible to get this sucker off my wrist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't if it has a hack mechanism. You only need to wind the movement down to work on the internals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
