vmena Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Mine starts changing the date at 11:00 PM and complete it at 00:00. And day starts moving at 11:45 PM and complete the move by 1:00 AM... What about yours? is it acceptable what's happening to mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 V, I believe that this is normal... My 188 has done this since I've owned it, which is about 4 years now... TT . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 My 7750's starts at about 10/10:30 and flicks over at 12, more or less.... My only watch with a day is my Porsche chrono, and that flicks over at between 2-3 AM, never really noticed when if first moves.... As long as the date switches near midnight and I wake up the next day with the right day/date I am happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmena Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Do you have any clue if an ETA7750 behaves the same? My 2824 in my franken DJ changes at 00:00!!! and the SFSO changes around 00:00 also... same with the 2836 in my MBW Sub. Maybe I'm too picky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 It is not an instant flick date change, but a rolling one. It is the way the movement is designed, be it Swiss or Asian..... It is also the reason you should never try to adjust the day/date when the hour hand is between 9-3, to be safe. Otherwise you could mess up the date change gears and break something! Cheers!

Maybe I'm too picky Yes...the gen ETA/Valjoux 7750 behaves the same way and has the same restrictions on changing the date. If you search for gen manuals with the 7750 here...I remember sometime back there were posts on this. You can look for info on this with posts by the user The Zigmeisterzumba. Look for any post of his, and then look at the links to his articles in his signature. That's the beauty of the reps. You can spend 15x more...but you'll STILL get the same restrictions and performance as its Asian counterpart. A 2824/2836 movement is nothing like the 7750 and thus has the quick date changeover.
