Date issue with RM11

 

I have a problem with my RM11 in that the date seems to be faulty. When it came to change from the 19th to the 20th, it just didnt do it, it seemed to jam as the watch actually stopped going, even though it was pretty much fully wound before being taken off my wrist at 10pm. I also notice the digits in the date window dont really align up that well.

I saw on another forum a couple of posts about not being able to change the date by winding the hands on etc, and Theodore replied to the posters via private mail, so perhaps my question on this is for Theo...any help appreciated...if it needs to go back to RM then fine quite happy to do that, but would like to know firstly if its a common problem or of there is a simple resolution.

Thanks

I do wear a panerai 10 day as a daily watch and that has not missed a single beat in 2 years, and to be honest it is obviously quite complex as it is an automatic with a 10 day power reserve. One has to question RM's quality control really, on such a high...

You are a very understanding guy Chris4 , but i cant help but feel sorry for you . To purchase anything at a cost of $100,000 and for it to break down shortly after is a big issue in my mind. As an example i recently bought a new porsche 997 for around $8...

I've had no problem with mine and at risk of sounding politically incorrect, the 11 is somewhat like a beautiful and highly sophisticated woman requiring love and nurturing, and perhaps, some unexpected bumps along the way The Aero bang on the other hand,... 

Well mines on its way now

and dates to 7th Aug 2008, and has the problem. I have no idea if the modification kit is only required in ones that have had the problem or if it was something that has been installed at the factory on later models to prevent it you will have to ask RM, ...
