I have the old pre-System X osaxen from Akua Sweets 143 that includes adjust the clock.

Is there any way to do this date changing business with vanilla System X AS?

I took a look with UIElementInspector at a date field:
<x-tad-smaller><AXApplication: “System Preferences”>
<AXWindow: “Date & Time”>
<AXTabGroup>
<AXGroup>
<AXGroup>
<AXGroup>
<AXTextField>
</x-tad-smaller>
but the third AXGroup can not be found by System Events:
tell application "System Events" to get class of UI elements of process "System Preferences" --> {window, menu bar}

tell application "System Events" to get class of UI elements of window 1 of process "System Preferences" --> {button, button, button, tab, button, button, tool bar, button, static text} <-- ?, "tab" should be "tab group"

tell application "System Events" to get class of UI elements of UI element 4 of window 1 of process "System Preferences" --> same as:
tell application "System Events" to get class of UI elements of tab group 1 of window 1 of process "System Preferences" --> {group, radio button, radio button, radio button} <-- contains first group

tell application "System Events" to get class of UI elements of group 1 of tab group 1 of window 1 of process "System Preferences" --> {button, button, group, group, static text, button, button, combo box, «class swiB»
[checkbox]} <-- second group as either group 1 or group 2

tell application "System Events" to get class of UI elements of group 1 of group 1 of tab group 1 of window 1 of process "System Preferences" -- {incrementor} <-- no third group here

tell application "System Events" to get class of UI elements of group 2 of group 1 of tab group 1 of window 1 of process "System Preferences" -- {UI element, incrementor} <-- no third group here

Telling System Events to Click at a coordinate does not seem to work either.
