Hi.
I take it that your watch changes date at 12 noon, instead of 12 midnight.
If so change the time of your watch 12 hours, so it reads the same time, but instead of am, it is pm, or visa versa. Analog watches do not have a 24 hour time setting.
Unfortunately, Rolex automatics, like all mechanical watches, must be serviced every 3-5 years. This is because the oils in the movement dry and congeal on the bottom of the wheels (gears) and dust and debris in combination work like sandpaper to cause wear on the parts.
Think of it like a fine automobile, one would never neglect the oil change in their new Mercedes because the engine could be damaged. In this case it is the movement that can have excessive wear. Also, the mainspring at this point may need to be replaced, which is the power source of your movement. We service Rolex and all other high grade watches, and always beat the price of the Rolex service center, their time frame, and can provide discontinued parts where they cannot.
We are happy to service your timepiece at a much better price than that offered. Feel free to contact us through email or phone.
Your problem is caused by the fact that the watch is 12 hours out of step.
Wind your watch forward 12 hours, reset the date if you need to and you watch will then change around midnight.
(if you need to change the date more than one day, when it has past the change time, wind it back and then forward to step the date forward. You may have to experiment to see how far past the change point (in both directions).
Try this:
To set time and date:
1) With time and date showing, press SET.
2) Seconds ?ash. Press START/STOP to round time to nearest minute,
setting seconds to zero.
3) Press MODE. Hour ?ashes. Press START/STOP to change hour,
including AM (no symbol) and PM.
4) Press MODE. Minutes ?ash. Press START/STOP to change minutes;
hold button to scan values.
5) Press MODE. Month ?ashes. Press START/STOP to change month.
6) Press MODE. Date ?ashes. Press START/STOP to change date.
7) Press MODE. Day ?ashes. Press START/STOP to change day.
8) Press MODE. Time format ?ashes. Press START/STOP to select
12- or 24-hour time format. 12-hour format has AM/PM.
9) Press SET, at any step, to exit and save settings.
Date (day of month) appears in upper part of display in Time mode.
Press and hold START/STOP to see month and date in large digits.
The watch is set-up for a 24 hour cycle. It sounds like your watch is 12 hours late, so if you just advance the time 12 hours ahead, everything should be solved.
quickly press the bottom-left button twice. then, press the bottom-right button once, and then the top-right button once. this should add 1 to the day. keep pressing the top-right button until u get the right day, the press the top-right button again.
now, how do u change the time format back to twelve hr. ?
You have to unscrew the knob first then you will be able to pull it out to change the minutes, hours, date. You may have to use a pair of small pliers to initially turn the knob.
