How do I change the date on a Rolex watch?
1 Answer
Changing the date on your Rolex watch differs by which watch you have. It’s a good idea to refer to your Rolex information or check with your retailer to determine how to change the date on your specific Rolex. That said, most Rolex watches allow you to change the date by unscrewing the crown and setting it in the first or second position and turning clockwise or counter-clockwise, again depending on which type of watch you own.
