    I have a question about the date change of the Portuguese Perpetual Calendar 5023-06:

    When does the date normally change?? My watch changed on 00:16! Is that normal? The watch is about 2 years old.

    Best Regards and thank you for your anwsers!

    To me, a deviation of 16 minutes is quite acceptable. Mine does it a bit better, about 5 minutes after midnight.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Sorry guys, i was wrong. I was just irritated by a "clicking-sound" at 00:16. the date actually changed 00:03 but i didn't see that and thougt it changed when i heard that "click". To be sure I changed it manual to the next day, all functions changed exactlty ca. 00:02/03 like it should be. But at ca 00:15 that clicking sound. I guess this is normal...

    The click you hear may be the moon change. You can see that too.

    Kind regards,
    Paul
