This QC photo would suggest the hands were not align even before TFDM got the watch. The time here is supposed to be 10:08 but the hour hand has not even made it to the 10 o'clock marker. If aligned correctly, it would be slightly past that marker by 10:08. The fix may be as easy as removing and resitting the hands so they start together and aligned at the 12 o'clock position.

Wow. It does look like it has gotten worse over time. There may be other issues here than just misaligned hands. Something is affecting the hour hand gears.

This is the QC pic, I signed off, I think then it was ok or maybe not?

It's off...the hour hand should be moving toward 11 a bit in that photo...it's still the other side of 10.

And it is off more in the later pic, so you may have other issues. Might be worth contacting TD and seeing about repair/replace. I know it's a pain in the ass to send it back to China, but you start messing with a tourbillon movement and you're asking for trouble.
