Trying to figure it out a little bit a watched few tutorials and stuff and for gen movement 3135 (I have sh3135) I unscrew crown and then first position is winding, second is for date and third for time.
winding works time too but I cant change date on second position. Is that normal in rep movement ? Or do I do something wrong.

please advise me guys.

thanks.

Thanks for reply. I actually tried it one more time today and now it works. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

Make sure you don’t change the date near midnight, or whatever time your date mechanism is engaged.

Setting the time to 6pm before changing the date position is your safest move.

Okay i will, thanks for the advice.

that is assuming your date changes over at 2400 hrs. First check what time it flips by moving the time forward until it flips. Whatever time that may be, always set the time to twelve hours before or after and you'll be fine.
