As you say
Would be interesting to hear from someone technical about the date change, Dont view it as a problem, as above I am sure its just the cycle to flip it over to a new date. I had a watch that didnt change dates until 20 or 25 mins after midnight, and for the life of me I cannot recall which one it was, have a few in my collection, RM & Non RM. NOt often up at 12 pm, and if I am I am not usually watching a date change, so havent really noticed the timing on any other date changes. I would view it as the normal date changing cycle to be honest, nothing really to bother about, unless someone technical knows otherwise
Change date on the RM030 !!!!
Hi everyone !!! I got a Richard Mille 030 and the date is changing only 20 minutes past mid-night. Everyday it changes the date on the wrong time !! Does anyone know if I can adjust that or the watch has a problem ? Thanks a lot, Alberto
Sorry to hear this. I would take it along to the AD from
whom you purchased the watch. Sounds as if the date mechanism needs an adjustment, and I would only let an AD touch the watch. Let me know how it turns out. Andrew H
I agree!!!
Andrew, I agree with you, but the only problem is that I'm living in Brasil and going back to Miami (where I bought) only in 6 months... Anyhow thats what I should do... Thanks for the comment !! Alberto
not sure...
If I am not mistaken, the date mechanism on the RM030 is a "semi-intantaneous" one. It means that the date "jumps" on the display but the mechanism that changes the display is being armed over a long period of time (usually starting around 10pm). I am not...
Good point !!
Good point, I havent thought about this possibility... I would be happy if thats whats happening and I dont need to send the watch over. Thanks !!!

question
Chris, I have spoken with some technicians and they agree with your point ! But there is still one question I didnt understand, why each date change occurs in different tine (sometimes 21 minutes after 12pm sometimes 25 minutes...), you think it can be th...
date change
Should change between five-to midnight and five past midnight (same date change mechanism as RM10), having said that, it's not a major problem and I would hold on until you can get it to your AD, it's not a big job just a small hand adjustment.
My opinion is this..
First of all I dont have a RM or any watch with an "inhous" mvmnt, One of my watches is a Tiffany with an ETA mvmnt and it switiching instantly within + or - 5 seconds at midnight, if that can your RM can.
