How to Adjust the Date Accurately on Your Rolex Submariner “Blackwater Ghost”
The Rolex Submariner “Blackwater Ghost”, officially known as the Submariner model Ref.116610LN, utilizes a standard instant-jump date feature. Wearers often encounter two “issues”: 1. The date changes at noon; 2. Incorrect date at the beginning of the month.
The fix for the first scenario is straightforward: simply set the watch back 12 hours. There’s no need to wait for the watch to stop running due to lack of power before adjusting.
For the second issue, attention to the calendar is key: adjustments are necessary at the end of February, April, June, September, and November. This practice is standard for anyone wearing a watch with a simple date function. Within the Rolex family, only the Sky-Dweller model features an annual calendar, requiring date adjustment only at the end of February. Other Rolex models with a date function will need adjustments at the end of February, April, June, September, and November. If adjusting the date seems too cumbersome, consider opting for the “Blackwater Ghost” without a date function, model Ref.114060. For those with a larger budget, a perpetual calendar watch from other brands (Rolex does not offer a perpetual calendar model) could be an option, theoretically eliminating the hassle of adjusting the date.
