How to adjust Perpetual Calendar GO Cal 39

Hi good morning GO fans,

I am thrilled about all the new models GO is coming out with, the Chronometer, the Pocket Repeater, and now the Regulator...

Meanwhile, I am running into some trouble with the setting of my newly acquired Senator Perpetual Cal 39. What happened was midnight last night, it turned into November 1st, not October 31st. At the end of last month (September), it jumped into September 31st, instead of October 1st. So I thought the month, day, and date must have been messed up, that someone before me must have pushed those setting pins randomly. So anyways, I tried to hand wind the watch to see which month it exactly is by observing the date it will change the month. Since there are only supposed to be two consecutive 31 day months (July and August, and December and January). The best of course is if I could find a Leap year Feb with 29 days, then I am all set. But you can imagine, it is going to be a long journey hand winding the watch.

So I did some winding, but later in early October decided to take it to AD for the watchmakers to adjust it for me. The guy came out quickly told me it is all set so I started to wear it again. But it is not handling Oct 31st right. So apparently the AD guy did was push those button holes to have the correct day dates showing for that day, nothing about the inner workings of a sophisticated Perpetual.

Any better ideas? Other than sending it back to Glashutte? I mean can I adjusted it myself by my earlier methodology, winding it until I find the Leap Feb? Please let me know how I can be sure it is synchronized correctly so I don't ever have to worry about the dates again...it is what a Perpetual should do, isn't it?

Thank you all so much!
