V7 IWC MK XX first impressions

[Caboose]

I am purchasing one at the moment and my QC photos show a misaligned date. As the dial does not locate into the movement, and instead the movement spacer, shouldn't it be relatively simple to slightly twist the dial for alignment purposes? I'm going through a TD who is notoriously difficult with QC criticisms, so if this is likely an easily fixed issue I would rather just approve. If it would require dissassembly and resetting of the date wheel or more, I will attempt to get another piece. For those who are more familiar with these things, I appreciate the help.

I could be wrong but typically the datewheel is actually a glued overlay on the actual datewheel, so it could be as easy as removing the dial, hands, and then re-gluing correctly.

Yeah, that's definitely a couple steps I would wish to avoid on a new watch. Thanks

I bought the original V7F strap version. Anyone knows if I can order the bracelet separately? Will it fit? Did the case change between strap and bracelet version?

It should fit. You may post your search in the WTB section.

I know that there are members that bought it with bracelet and swapped it for an aftermarket strap. I did that too. Perhaps someone is willing to sell the bracelet.
