Well now I don't know which answer you commented on... I tried a Ninja edit...
I've managed to get the date to move using the time set position but not on the date adjustment position. I've tried again incase it was me but still no luck.
And I'm assuming you are referring to clockwise and anti clockwise....
ChainBreaker-
The two things I suggested are:
Pull crown to first position, try turning it both ways.
Pull crown all the way out and advance time past midnight and see if it changes. This isn't how you're supposed to change date but is useful for knowing what's wrong in the movement.
Sounds like you've tried both.

Just making sure... you’re not trying to quick-set the date with the hour hand in the top half of the dial, are you...?
(For the benefit of anyone reading who isn’t aware... the date change mechanism is often engaged between roughly 9pm and 3am so trying to quickset the date with the hour hand in the top half of the dial risks damaging the movement.)
(Also, re advancing the date manually - I tend to do this every time I set the date. If you quick-set the date to the day before the current date, then advance the time until it clicks over to the right date, you know that the watch is set to AM. Or PM if you keep advancing the time, of course. This prevents having the date change at midday by accident.)
