Date Disc Wheel Precision Question

Recommended Posts

myth selasi

Good day fellas. Just a quick question regarding rolex reps! Is the date disc wheel precise bearing in mind february has 28 days and some have 30 days? Its just occurred to me that all of the reps that I own/ed presently and in the past all seem to go up to 31 days on the date wheel. Any quick insight would be much appreciated.

99% of watches will be a 31 day date wheel and will not know what month you are in so you just need to adjust at the end of the month for every month with less than 31 days.

You want a mechanical that takes this into account you need a perpetual calendar

you should see how busy i am when the clocks change over!!!!!

the 31 day date is never explained in the watch instruction manuals either, once your used to it its an easy enough routine!

unless you get a perpetual calander which does it for you month by month
