Patek 5164A: Day/Night Indicator
Hi folks,I would like to check with current Patek 5164A owners, does your Day/Night indicator change colour (e.g from white to dark blue or vice versa) exactly at 6am/6pm?My new Patek 5164A seems to only start changing the colour of the Day/Night indicator starting from around 6am/6pm. The process would take about an hour or so to completely change the colour in the Day/Night indicator (e.g from white to dark blue or vice versa). Is this normal?In the Patek owner's manual, it only states the following:The day/night indicator in the round aperture at 3 o'clock (HOME) lets you check whether you have set the correct time (white stands for the daylight hours from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., black for the night time hours from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.).Hope current owners can help to shed some light on this and this is my first Patek watch. Many thanks in advance.
Nifty piece . . .
New one at home.

Ways I have damaged a watch
In honor of my new TRF pal who just bought his very first Rolex, I though it would be good for us to collectively warn him about the worldly dangers that lurk for our watches. I shall begin:Gasoline/Petrol/SolventsWhile filling my car with fuel, the petrol splashed back onto the watch and melted the water seals. Not a cheap fix. Now I ALWAYS have my watch arm behind my back when at the pumps.
