Tudor Pelagos Dial Rotated: US fixer???

Hi all- I need help. Just purchased (for a second time) what turns out to be my favorite favorite favorite watch. The Tudor Pelagos.
Unfortunately, the dial has rotated and shifted on me. A common issue I’ve come to find the hard way.
This is the second time it’s happened to me.
A few years ago, I had purchased a different Pelagos super rep when it just hit the market and after a few months of wear, dial shifted. While I had some experience tinkering and opening up some reps- I gave it a whirl and mucked the whole thing up. It’s a two piece dial construction with the surrounding chapter ring separate from the dial and hour markers.

I’m not going to make the same mistake with this one by opening it up on my own.

Is there anyone? Anyone? US based that I can send this thing to that can just shift this rotated dial back to where it’s supposed to be, glue this thing down and close it back up without any issues?? If you’re moderately confident with your skills, PM me or reply. If you’ve newly acquired some watchmaking skills during quarantine, PM me or reply!

I’m desperate.

Some pics for reference:

Wowsers! I was thinking it might be a degree or two out of alignment but that's certainly shifted!

Good luck finding some help. Don't forget the trusted modders/repairs section if you have no luck finding someone.

Thanks man. Hoping for an option.

Weird, you would think it has dial feet to prevent these kinds of issues. I would PM one of the trusted watchmakers on the forum. I am sure someone would get you sorted.

You can buy dial dots. I dropped a vintage rep submariner and it got about as off kilter as yours. I fixed it with dial dots. You do need to be comfortable enough to remove the movement, hands and dial.
