Andrewsellswatches is back with another Watch Tip Tuesday!
Today’s tip 👉🏼 how to change the date on your watch without damaging it
👉🏼Between roughly 9:00 and 3:00 on the dial, the gears that change the date are already engaged. If you force the date wheel during that window, you can strip or damage the movement 😣
To correctly change that date on your watch:
👉🏼 Move the hands to about 6:00 first
👉🏼 Then change the date
👉🏼 Set the correct time afterward
⏱️ This applies to most automatic and quartz watches with a date complication, if you’re unsure about your specific watch, we can help!
