I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I accidentally advanced my Super Avenger's date several times around 8:40pm. For some reason, I though the window was 9pm to 2am, then when I checked the owner's manual, I found it was actually 8pm to 2am. I manually advanced the watch to midnight to check date change functionality. The date starts to move around 11:15pm and changes around 11:55pm. How do I know if I've damaged the calendar wheel? Has anyone ever incurred damaged and have had to have their watch repaired? What did it cost you? Thanks in advance! |

if your watch still runs fine and you did not feel any restriction, i would say you are good to go, but just be carefull next time. |

The timing and duration of the date change you describe is just fine. You're ok. |

What I would suggest you do is try using the quickset date (OUTSIDE OF THE DANGER TIME OF COURSE!) and advance it through an entire month of date changes one at a time. As long as every date is central to the date window when it fully clicks over, and as long as the date still changes correctly on it's own at 11:55, then you are probably fine. (The reason to go through an entire month is to ensure that no teeth on the date-change cogs are damaged). |

The 8 to 3 warning in the manual has a built in 'safety margin'. In reality the real risk is approximately 9 to 2, but follow the steps that Driver8 suggested and if all is well then you'll be fine. |
