Hi, out of a M2M Deal I got a VSF No Date - really good looking, but there is a tiny incorrect position of the 12‘ triangle.

Is there any chance to fix?
Anybody in Germany able to fix?

If you want greater accuracy then you should consider sourcing a genuine dial. Trying to fix such a small dial error which requires a macro photo or 10x loupe to see is very risky work.

The level of work it takes to get that perfect is high.
You would need to take the dial off, scrape away the adhesive from the underside of the marker, use a fine needle to push the marker feet back through to release the marker, (here’s where I needed help) resin print a dial marker jig to straighten the marker and hold it against the dial, then re-glue it to the dial with the jig in place to hold it.
It’s a job for patient, steady hands.
