Just got a very nice mid-late 1990's Chronomat D13050.1 for my 50th this week. However, I have a couple of relatively minor issues:

.1 The date changes at around 6pm.

.2 The bottom dial (at 6 o'clock on the face) runs all the time, not just when the chronograph is running!

Anyone had these problems before and know how they might be fixed?

I may comment at a later date on how difficult finding bracelet links can be!

Ta.

welcome & congrats on your new acquisition.

well, as you say, the issues might be "relatively minor" - but only a service can "fix" them.

Sadly that's what I thought would be the answer.

If the chrono hours hand is running constantly then I would want a service performed pretty much straight away. That's not right and could indicate some damage that could make things worse if left alone.
