I had this Portofino Chrono for 3 years but never noticed the problem until recently. It won't change date at midnight, instead after 2 or 3 AM while the day will turn exactly at 6 AM. Is there a simple trick to fix it myself? Sending it to IWC for servicing will be a headache. The only authorized dealer in Vietnam was closed last month due to poor business.

I have the same problem. Mins changes at 5:30 am.. Seems to be because of a date change that I did during the prohibition hours.. Any advice is helpful

Hello, it should be an easy fix, bought a second hand IWC some time ago that had the same problem. Most probably a wrong date change.
