A twist: What if he bought it on October 15? (Or some other day such that you would have to consider daylight saving time.)

To answer Scott’s question I believe it would be August 25, 2038 at 1:00 pm (the watch would read August 25, 2037).

You lose 1 day every 30 days, so you you would have to go through 365 30 day cycles (or 10,950 days) to get back to the same day. Assuming you begin on 9/1/08 at 1:00 pm you would end on 08/25/2038 at 1:00 pm.

Of course, it doesn’t say the watch has a date indicator. I just figured a fancy gold watch with diamonds is bound to have that feature.

But the date would be wrong, because your watch would have slowed down by a full day, therefore your watch would say Sept. 30. I wonder if you would ever get back around to the correct time AND date…
