Advisory Sought : Date change Explorer II

[Exp2_Sub]

I noticed my exp2 date change takes about 2.5 hours to change. Any one have this similiar timing ?

[Alexlow]

+-5mins is acceptable for me but 2.5hrs I think you should get it checked.

i notice there were some dates that the dates changed ( jump to next date ) about 10-15 minute passed 12, and there were some dates take 1-2 hours to changed, i.e. the cyclops window will be in between 2 dates. I have checked other rolex website and found that it is probably due to so called "sticky date/wheel" in the watch, it could be the oil/lubricant. The advice given is to adjust the hours hand to and flo at the 12 o'clock so that the date changes between 2 dates, so that to "smoothen" the date wheel. Not sure other rolex Date Model have this issue ?

PS: I adjust ( either advance /delay) my watch by 12 hours, so that the noon time (12 mid-night) the date start to change, and i check the date.

Am thinking to send the watch to RSC to check the date change problem since it is still under warranty. Will RSC charge me for this ?

It is normal for all mechanical watches. It can be adjusted but "issue" will likely come back. There are cases of date changing even at 11.45pm or 11.30pm....
