·One of my watches is a Seamaster 300m (caliber 8800 movement); and I've got a question I was hoping someone could answer. Does the danger zone (i.e. 8pm to 4am or perhaps 9pm to 3am) apply when attempting to make date change adjustments to these watches?
I ask that question because one employee at an Omega authorized dealer said it was a non-issue because of its in-house movement whereas some else suggested it was something to be very careful with. In general, I have tried to stay very mindful about this issue with mechanical watches.
But over time, I suppose accidents can happen so I think this is an important topic. The last thing anyone wants is to incur expensive servicing as a result of making date changes while the watch is in this zone, if in fact it is a problem. I would be interested in thoughts from others on this subject as it relates to this watch.
