If you're on yesterday's date, rotate the minute hand until the date window starts to change... then you're in AM time. Continue to rotate the minute hand until you're in the correct time in AM or PM as the case may be. Then push the crown in to get the second hand ticking. This is the correct way, and your date will flip over at the correct time.

Thank you. I just bought a Bvlgari Diagono. I thought I purchased the quartz but I just found out it's mechanical. I really don't want to ruin it this early, or ever.
