@dogwood I have a VSF Rolex Submarine Hulk. About a year old, bought from a TD. Worn rarely and never been rough with it or dropped/banged it before.

The issue happened after a long stint of not wearing it. So going about setting the watch for the day and everything seems to work perfectly fine but went to set the date manually by putting the crown at position 1 the date wheel doesn’t move and then tried setting the date automatically by cycling through the hour hand 24 hours and the date still won’t jump to the next day. It looks like it attempts to jump as I can hear a click but it looks looks stuck at day 15th and won’t move. I also tried by letting the it goes past midnight normally but the issue still persists.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Answered in the other thread where you posted this question.

The long and the short answer is that you'll need to remove the hands and dial to get a look at the date works of the movement to know what's going on.
