same thing happen to my cartier pasha seatimer I got from Stan also, I tried so many times and different ways, and got the same result each time, NOTHING so I just got fed up with it and eventually left it running on the wrong date. However just 3 days ago, on one of my lunch breaks, I noticed that the time was wrong on my watch, so I continued to correct it to the right time ,usually its about 2 clicks from the dial to move the hands, but for some reason when I move the dial half way, I begin to head something clicking while I was turning the dial and it wasn't the time moving and it wasn't the same sound like the usually winding either, so I look down at the date wheel it I was finally moving. So bascially when you move the dials out, try half of one.
Good luck to you man.
