Please keep us informed as to the outcome, John.  This question has come up before in the distant past, and my recollection is that a 53 week result is normal depending on how the watch was initially set.

I bought a Senator Calendar Week in 2011 - a beautiful watch and I love it. This new year, I was looking forward to seeing the week display flip to 1. I've read about the complexity in designing a movement that allows this and I was a bit surprised (okay,...

Thanks for your help. I posted my question on their site and look forward to the response. As far as the Senator Week, I love it. Understated, elegant and it comes with an interesting narrative. It's almost been getting as much wrist time as my Sport Evo....
