Date Change - Nudge Minute Hand?

[Timetaker]

Hi everyone,

My 2824 changes date at 11.25.

I was thinking if it is possible / acceptable to nudge the minute hand (and maybe the hour hand) into position without removing them and resetting them?? Is this standard practice for a setting or will I risk damaging the gears or movement?

Don't even think about it, you are asking for trouble.

Remove both hands and with the crown in the time setting position, turn the crown until the date just changes then re-fit the hands both at the twelve position.

I thought it might be too easy that way!! Thanks for the advice, I will remove and reset them
