ZF Tudor Pelagos Hour Indices, Can they be fixed?

[Whozat]

I just received my QC pics and of course there are some crooked markers.

Can the hour markers be straightened out? Has anyone tried?

Besides obvious disassembly, what would it entail?

Markers have feet that fit into holes on the dial. They can be easily adjusted. Just make sure you use epoxy to secure it back into place from the BACK of the dial.

Wow, that was quick.

That will make it a pretty easy fix then.

Thank you,

Good luck!

Oh, this is going straight to the watchsmith.

My hands are far too shaky for this tiny intricate stuff.

I limit myself to sizing and changing bands and straps.

Other than that, I'll stick to buying and wearing them.

Since the markers are crooked/tilted/askew why don't you reject it and ask for a different one?

All of these ZFs seem to have an issue or two, so I'm concern about not getting one as "good" as this one.

I'm hoping I won't notice it while wearing it, but I just wanted a back up plan in case.

Besides, I had already rejected an Omega for misalignment.

I bought one from Intime 99% on the markers.

Good info to know, and sound reasoning on your part.

Well here it is sitting next to it's brother. Turned out to be not too bad. Besides, I can't see it that well without reading glasses anyhow.

(my first picture too)
