You have to decide for yourself. What is a show stopper for some people might not be a problem to others at all.

Normally if you’re not happy with the product it should go back, but how long would you have to wait for a new one if you reject it now?

Perhaps you could pick it up like this and get an aftermarket dial - sounds like an adventure but that’s what makes it fun :)

Nearer than you think
you will not see it irl, dw, if it really bothers you, you should go to a watchsmith and make him fix it in a couple minutes

It looks perfect, accept it.

Btw what do the clasp, the caseback and the case sides have to do with your question about the crooked marker?

I'd do the same. Not uncommon for the next rep to be worse. Playing the waiting game sucks as we're all like addicted kids :crazy:

Iike above said, it’s not crazily noticeable irl... but what I know that is even in gen, sometimes, and most of the times the dials on Daytona doesn’t really align as much as the regular models or sports model... I’d give this a go... and yes like above said, the waiting game sucks!!! I would take it and save some bucks for mod... that’d make more sense???

That was a mistake, I was using the same imgbb for multiple posts.

Sorry this is a noob question but what would the ballpark cost of this be? I'll look for some recommended watchrepair folks and see if any are local.
