Watches: What is a fair price for a authentic 1970's vintage "McQueen" Rolex Explorer II? Why does the day start at midnight?

the hands of your watch had to be aligned. it is the only way to fixed your watch.

Your watch is 12 hours out, as it "thinks" that midnight is midday.

The solution is to wind your watch forward 12 hours and then the date will change at midnight.

Your watch is 12 hours out of step.

The date changes every second time the hour hand passes 12 O'clock.

Your watches' second pass is at midday instead of midnight, so to make it operate correctly, you need to wind it on 12 hours. The date will then change at midnight.

Your watch is 12 hours out of step. (The date changes every second revolution of the hour hand.)

Wind your watch forward 12 hours, (you may have to reset the date) and it will then change around midnight.

Reset the time by 12 hours. Just wind the hands to the right time but only go around once not twice. So for example it's 5 pm now. Wind the hands around again to go to 5 again. It should do the trick.

I haven't been able to find your watch on their web site but it sounds as though your watch is a mechanical (automatic?), if this is the case.....

The watch thinks it is midnight at midday, so wind the watch forward 12 hours.

Your watch thinks your noon is midnight.

Wind the hands forward 12 hours and the date change will be at midnight. You will have to re-set the date if it gains a day when doing this.

Hi,

Check that you have set the time at the correct AM or PM setting. If this setting is wrong it may appear that the date is changing in 12 hours because it sees 12 midday as 12 midnight.

Thanks for using FixYa.

You have the watch set so that midnight is showing as noon. Advance the watch 12 hours and then reset the date to the proper setting.
