Chronograph hand doesn't reset

Three days ago I bought a Daytona from Ryan. I have heard a lot about its 6 o'clock subdial issue, so I was feeling like I was wearing a ticking bomb around my wrist. Anyway today I noticed that the subdial @9 o'clock (I think it is hour repeater) seemed misaligned. I tried to reset but it was useless. It pissed me off and I really don't know what to do.

I hope you guys suggest me something so that I can fix this issue. Here are the photos.

run the chrono until that hand comes back around to 12 then stop the chrono and don't use it again. :)
or take to a smith for a fix.

You have to push only the reset button at 4 o'clock and this hours counter have to reset.
If this not reset correctly or the hand was fixed not correctly or the whell for this counter have a friction problem and ned to repair ( change or cleming )

There are YouTube videos on how to adjust chrono that gets a little out of whack. Browse it for whatever the movement is, not the watch.

You can only adjust the chrono hands manually on a quartz movement.

I know this doesn't help now but for a Daytona I would buy a quartz WPK. It's cheaper and everything works like it should. I had one and sold it but it went to the wrong address so its coming back. It's a nice watch as a quartz. The only thing is at 6 o'clock it ticks instead of sweeps, you have to be pretty darn close to the watch to notice that. These watches in pictures are nowhere near the size of the actual watch which is a lot smaller. A lot of flaws cannot be seen.

as far as I understood i can't do anything to fix that problem by myself. i think the best way is to send the watch to a watchsmith.
