Can't see who the poster who asked the question....
I am not the best expert on this, but I believe the reason for this was, around 8 pm, the date gears start their sequence and finish the sequence completely around 2 or 3 am.
I heard that once this has started, and you decide to change the date, it can throw it out calibration of the date change sequence, or even in an extreme case on a 7750, seize the movement.
Again, not an expert, but this is what I have read.
Me personally, when I pick up one of my watches that has no power left in the spring, I will wind it a bit, then go straight to the time set function, and move the hands forward until i see the date change, so I know exactly where mid night is and set the time, then the date.
