I had the watch chap the date wheel on mine was fine . Unfortunately while i never sold the watch i gave it to my father in law . He is in Ireland and i am currently in Uk (England) , also he doesn't know how to use his mobile phone .So no chance of photos chap . I purchased my watch ages ago when it was first put on list . I have had a look and there are lots of people complaining about the date font more recently . This happens with watches they sometimes gain faults with later versions or just for production batches when the factory use inferior parts . The watch definitely WAS worthy of being NWBIG .
TBH the date font is that BAD on your watch i'm surprised your didn't notice it on the QC ! It is a protracted experience getting a refund once you have watch . You will have to send the watch back hope it arrives etc . I think you are NEW member ? With rep watches 9/10 times you will get a spot on watch from a TD watches. however they sometimes arrive with problems a rattling rotor , a movement that needs servicing , a marker you didn't notice was off on the QC ( maybe not that off but does your head in head in when you look at watch ). My advice use one the forum watchsmiths and get it repaired/sorted yourself .
The watch you have has a clone eta, it will be extra $$$ but why don't you find and contact a forum WS and see if they can replace (locate) with a new date/day disc/s or overlay ( might be complicated by date/day ) ? Also contact PT tell them about your problem see if they can send you a better day/date disc/s for you to fit ?
To be honest this is a lesson learned do your research/due diligence ( i'm not lecturing you chap ) , and check your QC's . Before you purchased the watch you should have picked up on the current date wheel flaw and checked yours is OK/acceptable .
Good luck i hope you sort it out !!!!
