Date problem

[pasxalis1987]

Hey guys....I got a grand classique automatic with PVA coating...
Erm...the problem is:
The date can change manually but when the watch shows 12 it doesnt change.
What can i do.

Does the date change at all? If so what time?

[pasxalis1987]

erm...if i change it manually it changes.
if i await for it to change at 12 o clock pm....it doesnt.
...basically it wont change by its own

It won't change on it's own even at a different time of day? If you set it, wind it, and then leave it for 24 hours does it show the next day when you check it or is it still on the same number as when you left it?

Erm....basically it goes like this.
If i change the date manually, it will change.
If i leave it for over 24 hours to change automatically, it wont.

That's strange. You need to take it in for repair.

hm....i'm surprised though...anw....its a fine piece of work....erm....automatic Longines are not COSC but....do they operate as well as COSC watches?

[ulackfocus]

Yes, they use the same movements that Swatch has COSC certified for other brands. They just aren't sent in for testing which keeps the cost down. The rate can be regulated to within COSC specs by any competent watchmaker.

Sometimes things slip through quality control. No manufacturer can be 100% perfect.

Thats nice!its sad though that most of the people do not recognize these watches....and they do not even know about longines. they are fine pieces suitable for gentlemen...
