Hi all!
I've just bought really nice rep of Cartier Santos 100 from one of our TDs. I accepted QC pictures of this, in spite of some doubts about setting of dial. It looked like the dial was a little bit crooked - not placed straight (it looks like to be bend onto right-down corner). I thought it was just matter of picture taking angle...
But finally it appeard that, unfortunatelly, it is really little bend.

Does anybody have some idea, if I can fix this matter (adjust the dial more straight) easily. Or maybe the goose is cooked?

So Bart after having some time to really look at those pics I would scrap this watch and start over. The bezel screws, the dial alignment, the bezel quality and fitment all look awful. I'm sorry to be that guy but I hope you didn't pay a lot for that watch.

This one wasn't especially expensive :)
But in real, having this timepiece in hand, it isn't so bad... These pics are ... somehow lying. Don't bother bout everything else, only thing in this one, what makes me a little upset is this crooked dial... Rest is pretty all right :)

I would just contact a modder I'm sure they could easily remove and reinstall the dial properly

Hmmm... as I thought. It wuldn't be so easy. So one more thing. I used to work with Etienne (Wiz), but as I can see he is no more active, so who from our watchsmits are in Europe?
