Date not advancing repair

[Mr Ed 9]

Hi All,  I bought the following watch just over a year ago from Andrew at Trusty Time. I don't wear it very often and it always kept safe in it's box but decided to wear it today. I tried to advance the date. It went from 31 to 1 okay but wouldn't advance any further.   The date will now only advance by rotating the hour hand on the 2nd pull out but on the first pull position it won't advance. Seems quite smooth anti-clockwise but no movement. Tried clockwise gently, too much resistance so didn't proceed, The date is now also offset up by 1mm or so. Does anyone have any advice please? Is this a common issue? Easily corrected? Buggered? Cheers....

Sounds like a keyless rebuild... unless you advanced the date while the date change mechanism was engaged.  NEVER advance the date with the hour hand anywhere between 9 and 3.  I always set my watch to 5:30ish before changing the date.

Hey fatarms, I just rotated the hour hand back to  5:30  and the date is now advancing without issue. Couldn't tell you where it was when I had the issue but must have been between 9  and 3.  Thanks for the information fatarms, never to be forgotton. Life saver. Cheers mate. Hopefully I haven't done too much damage; it seem fine now.

Good to hear.  Hopefully no gear teeth chipped off.

That is a rule to follow for any watch, rep or gen.  The date change mechanism (at midnight)  can start engaging the date wheel as early as 9pm and may not release until after 3am.  If you set the watch to around 6, it doesn't matter if it's AM or PM.  it shouldn't be engaged at all at either 6am/pm.
