Hey guys I would just like to ask what modification should I do on my rep to align the date? Does it look like dial issue or a DW issue? Thanks

Yup. Find a local, non-AD, watchmaker or a trusted repair person on the forum.
In my previous city, I found a local guy who would do minor work for me. I just told him it was a replica watch, which was a gift from a military friend who acquired it overseas. He just chuckled and said ok.

Anyway, do you guys have any idea what factory and version this could be? My uncle bought it and sold it to me for 200usd

Need to know what movement it has. If it's a rep 3135 (like the gen movement), the datewheel cannot be adjusted vertically. If it's an ETA 2836 or 2824 clone, or a DG2813 it will have a datewheel overlay (DWO) that can be adjusted vertically.
If you can take the back off and post a pic, we can ID the movement. Or just tell us which way the hands move when you rotate the crown clockwise in position 3 (time setting).

Are you sure? Do the hands move clockwise with clockwise crown rotation? The reason I ask is it's unusual for the 3135 DW to be off that much, if it's flipping normally, They can get stuck and not flip properly but that's different from a DWO not being aligned.
Yes. Image here: https://imgur.com/a/HKH4ZoY
Is there a way to fix this or does this piece got a badly printed DW?
EDIT: Do you have a guess on what factory and version this could be?

Have a look at the link below for more detailed info

It looks like a higher end rep, the parts look to be good quality (dial, hands, insert, etc.) Post a pic of the bracelet clasp code or look it up here

I see. So it's a noob with a faulty date alignment. I'm too inexperienced to tweak this myself and I'm not sure if there are watchmakers who are willing to service this watch from where I live so I guess I'll just live with it for now as long as the date change mechanism is still working. Thank you for the help!
Yes, the 3135 clone can be a challenge. I've got the SH3135 and both the date change mechanism and the autowind assembly are suspect. At this point I figure it might be better to just get a VR3135 and hope for the best. There are people who will work on these movements, Michael in NY serviced mine, but I figure it's the parts that are the problem and I don't want to spend a bunch of money swapping in gen parts. If the watch is running ok otherwise, maybe you just hang in there and enjoy it.
