Hello, I just got this bad boy but I am struggling with date adjustment and I am not sure if that’s a flaw or I have no idea what am I doing.

Whenever I try to change the date on position 1 of the crown, it stucks between numbers(please see picture). The only thing that fixes that is adjusting the time to the next day.

Can I fix it somehow?

When I manually advance the time to next day date changes properly to the next one. The thing is that if I try to adjust the date only, it tends to stuck between the dates like on the pic, meaning it was 25th, I tried to adjust it to 26th manually but it stucks between them and spinning the crown does nothing, when I advance the time it goes to 26th like every midnight. Hope it clarifies, english is not my first language 🙆‍♂️

Your English is great, I was just having trouble imagining the behaviour of the watch. Now I understand.

I have an Eco Drive Citizen that does the same thing. Trying to advance the date using the crown does nothing, but the date will change if I advance the time. So….. I sat down with an entertaining YouTube video to keep me from getting bored and advanced the time over and over and over again until the date was right. On 28 day and 30 day months, I fix the date by advancing the time.

It’s a clumsy solution, but I couldn’t be bothered to take it in to be repaired. It’s my favorite watch, and works just fine otherwise.
