CF Daytona Panda V2/V3 Shifted Dial
- Thread starter WatchNoobs

Any luck with this? Have the same exact CF Panda, dial shifted the same amount to the right. I tried this and was able to get the dial aligned but every time I tightened the screws the dial shifts back to where it was.
i fixed this on my BTF that way

before
as you can see dial was way off centre and shifted upwards.. be careful not to apply pressure on stem
Nice work! Can you explain what you mean by not applying pressure on the stem?i fixed this on my BTF that way

when rotating the movement to align dial make sure its not resting on the stem and winding is smooth
Havent received the case back tool yet. Hopefully sometime this week. Will report once I try.
Finally managed to shift the dial back to the center. My tool arrived today, opened it and loosened the screws. Unfortunately I unscrewed way too much and of the holding tabs came off and took me over half an hour to get it back together. After I unscrewed the holding tabs i used my thumbs to push the movement towars the left side. It was a bit tough but somehow I managed. Below the images for reference, thanks everyone for the help!
Perfect. As @domiffm and others said, do not unscrew the tab completely, just loosen it enough to move the movement around a bit.Finally managed to shift the dial back to the center.

Glad we could help you.
OP, did you unscrew the crown into winding position before you loosened the screws of the holding tabs and made the adjustments?
Would be be the same if the dial is slightly rotated clockwise or is that a different process?
Do you mean that it doesn't line up with the rehaut? Because Daytona dials are fixated in three subdial positions it's hard to imagine it being shifted
That would make the subdials look weird too
Sorry I didn’t mean for daytona. I was just reading this post and found the solution interesting and comsidered trying it on my Spectre seamaster which is slightly rotated.
Seems this problem is common with cf. Seen alot of 116520 models with this problem… i had 3 in a row in my qc so i decided to just gl the 3rd even tough the dial was shifted still
This was an amazing find, thanks so much OP for bringing this up, and thank you all for the detailed advice!

I think this happens when you have a crown thats difficult to pull out ( various reasons - usually keyless works issue )
You find yourself adding more pressure than ideal to pull the cown out which can invariably drag the whole movement sideways over time......
It happened to my SUGESS DAYTONA. Had to send it back to get opened , check keyless works operation and re align movement / dial.

I did exactly the same thing where I unscrewed one of the retainer clips and it was a PITA to put back. If you look at the image below, I unscrewed these 2 blue screws and tried to push in the red direction (not on the rotor). Mine wouldnt shift though. Those blue retainer clips are pushing against the case so it doesnt have give. Any tips? Thanks!
