Basically the dial shifted into the rehaut (to the right) I'll get it serviced anyway hopefully the watchmaker can fix it
Apart from servicing the movement, save your money. You'd be very lucky if your gen Rolex comes aligned like this particular rep.

Which QC tool did you use?

Hi guys does anyone know if the dial is shifted can be aligned by watchmaker? Just received QC pics today and the dial is shifted to the right, what should i do now?
I think some people are misunderstanding your issue. The entire dial looks like its sitting too far to the right within the dial opening. Look at the minute track compared to the rehaut. Way bigger gap on the left side. I dont care if its a rep or not, an $800 watch should not have that kind of misalignment.
The worst part is that its nearly impossible to tell if its a misprint, meaning the whole dial is irredeemable and as good as garbage, or if perhaps the movement/dial isnt fitting snug in the case due to poor tolerances and is shifted right due to the crown being manipulated, screwed down, etc. One is easily fixed and the other requires an entire new dial.
If I were in your position I'd reject it and ask for another.
This is the correct answer, Noob had the same problem with many of their Daytonas.
Its not a big issue. The way that the clone movement is secured in the case (2 screws and 2 clamps) Its very easy, to correct this.
Unscrew the caseback, unscrew the crown. loosen both movement screws a tiny bit. push the movement into the correct position, secure the 2 screws again, bam, you are done.

Perfect answer I'm looking for thanks buddy

Yes, I agree this is likely a very easy fix. However, if the dial is a misprint (unlikely given I have not heard of any thus far) it may already be pushed as far to 9:00 as it will go. If this is the case (again unlikely) then NoahNHP is screwed! I would ask the TD to make this simple adjustment and resend QC pic to confirm it's been fixed.

My dial is shifted to the right aswell but only for 0,1mm its so tiny, which can barely be seen with the naked eye. I'll get this fixed when the watch needs his first service.

Do you guys think I should drop this gen dial into my Clean panda?
would swap out bezel for stainless too.

iirc this model only came in WG with WG bezel and without oyster bracelet. gen for reference
but if you like it go ahead!

Right that’s why I’m on the fence. Cheaper than a gen 116520 dial on eBay. Less lume.
