I recently acquired a Breitling Colt GMT and the date changes at 6am instead of 12am. It does not affect the function of the watch but I just wondering if this is be a problem in the long run or should I get it fixed. Thanks!

I think it's unlikely to cause an additional issue long term if it's working OK now, but something has obviously "jumped" inside the movement which may have caused other problems that aren't immediately apparent. If I was you I'd get it checked out and fixed asap. It's probably quite a simple fix, assuming nothing else has been damaged by whatever caused the problem in the first place.

If it's always changing at 6am then it's less of an issue than if the time varies, but agree with Driver8, something's not right. Best case scenario the hands were put on incorrectly, worst case the gears have skipped and that may well have caused damage.
