Such a beautifully designed watch and this date complication issue is highly problematic. Thank you for the review!

[@JimiTime1]

I’m slow AF to post my update, but they had a swift fix. My repair is running flawless. I had my watch back in 6 weeks or so

[@adibee88]

​​@@JimiTime1thank you for responding and I really appreciate the update! It sounds like they have great customer service despite the experience from the mechanical issue! Now, knowing this information, this watch is back on my, "Must Have" List!❤

According to your review video from a year ago, you have a first-launch unit from 2023, with case reference "M049526 A", and some of those have been reported as having the date wheel fault; Whereas I have "M049526 B", and according to what you said here, I've worn and used mine a lot more frequently than you, and i've had no problems. When you get your watch back, can you see if they have swapped the movement out for one with a stamping behind the balance wheel of "[ETA] C07651+"? It's important if it includes a plus sign at the end of that number, because that is another distinction from first-launch to renewed-launch units; Yours would have NOT had the plus sign at the end, but mine does. And mine was purchased early 2024. Does that make sense? So two things to look for: Updated case reference and updated movement stamping.

Thanks for the info! And I’ll check + add an update on the movement. It’s good to hear they’ve fixed this long term. It’s a really cool watch

[@JimiTime1]

@mybrainlikesthings - you are correct! First - the watch came back super fast (arrived Thursday) - There is a C07651+ My case also has the A. It’s great to see Mido correct the issue fast.

@@JimiTime1 awesome news, and congratulations!

[@benjaminjayolleta742]

@@mybrainlikesthingsif the case has B, it means already have updated eta movement?

[@mybrainlikesthings]

@@benjaminjayolleta742 I don’t know for a fact. But my guess is that the case number and calibre number aren’t connected.

[@Lord_of_The_World]

Purchased my watch(new from the AD); case is stamped A and the movement has + mark. Tell me I didn't pay full price for either a used watch or refurbished?

[@JimiTime1]

You’re good! The A means you have the updated model

[@Lord_of_The_World]

@ Thank you!

Thats funny, my blue version has just had the same issue that it can't be rotated past the 14th using the quick set but I can still progress it by moving past midnight. A teething issue for a new big date movement I guess , not the end of the world although in the UK I don't know if it will be as easy to resolve, I might try my local watch maker first.

[@JimiTime1]

@@benedge2202 at least you can move it by moving it forward past midnight. Good luck with yours , I’ll keep you posted on the service experience

[@Mud_Kip]

NO WAY YOURS GOT STUCK ON 14 TOO???

[@hohenstaufenz]

This issue sounds like a sign of a much bigger design flaw.

[@mybrainlikesthings]

@@hohenstaufenz Not necessarily. There was an initial launch in 2023, and a second wave launch late 2023/early 2024, with updated case references and movements. See my other comment here. Anyways, revised movements have "[ETA] C07651+" (with a PLUS sign at the end) stamped behind the balance wheel. I have one of these newer units, and mine hasn't had any problems so far.
