Fifty Fathoms Noob V2 crooked "12" marker

Now here´s a flaw I would spot across the room and I could never live with this (Therion666). It´s the thing that instantly tells You it´s a rep. The watch has to be consistent in itself and have the markers straight in the first place, it´s secondary if it uses a slightly different font from gen or the markers are 0,5 mm larger or thinner....
Send it to a watchsmith, he´ll fix it, he can break the feet and glue straight if it must be.
To save a view cents, the value of the product is destroyed, as it would be easy to sort out the dials and fix them in the first place, than assemble. It´s ok to magnify it a bit, a watch is a "small" product by definition.
The problem will instantly go away when it´s factories and intermediaries taking the hit and not customers.
perfect Blancpain = $460 flawed Blancpain = $460 very flawed Blancpain = $460 non-working Blancpain = $460
Chinese people have been and are the masters of fine art and miniaturization, even in mass production, think Ming porcelain and silk road, no dutch vase ever came near, so it just has to do with the modern advanced payment system in place

Well put. But this one does have a positive side, I'm using it to heal my OCD disorder and it works like a charm. I wear it around the house and try to look at it as much as I can and try to stay calm and focused You can't really notice the flaw from most angles, it's obvious only when observed straight up from a close distance. The dial is much smaller in real life and natural light than in these overblown macros. I believe there are many owners who had to accept what they have received, because the problem appears to be quite widespread..

Amen bro, could not agree more. And that's what really makes me angry meanwhile: Instead of improving it, the assembly quality has become worse and worse, especially over the last year. And you can't do much about it except rejecting watches with flaws or being abstinent.
I've emailed a few "trusted" repair guys and no one is willing to try to fix this. Anyone had any other luck with getting someone to attempt to fix it?
Mine has the issue where the 12 and the marker does not line up. I saw this in many of the watches shown on this forum and even on Daywatch's V1 (I think). I think the bezel is at the right spot but the dial is slightly tilted. Does anyone know if it is possible to tilt the dial slightly to match the marker?

I just ordered my first one. Should arrive soon. I'll let you know. Hersch makes a nice sail cloth also
