'Date' and 'Day' shift at different times

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this forum. Proud owner of a Spitfire Chrono, but there is something that has annoyed me for a couple of years: When I bought the watch in 2011, the Date (1-31) and the Day (Mon-Sun) used to shift to the next day roughly around Midnight..1AM. However, nowadays the Date shifts around Midnight..1AM as it should, but the 'Day' Shifts between 6AM and 7AM in the morning. I am quite certain this is not the way it should be.

Has anyone experienced something similar and/or does anyone have advice on what to do about it?

Thanks so much! Derek

Six hours late for either day or date is far too much, the maximum on one of my watches is around half an hour late, which is OK by me, if I were sensible I would be asleep at 00:30. So, you have to visit the AD for a not too complicated repair.

Kind regards,
Paul

Dag Derek, welkom op het forum.
Maybe time for a service, I had the same with one of my watches, it is a quick fix normally.
