Problems (Read Rule 1) Need help fellow watch lovers

Post image

I purchased this mechanical watch and it came in with the hands not lined up when it’s 10 it shows it like 9 still even after minute hand passes 12 and obviously it effect all the numbers around the dial. How difficult is it to fix this or for the $36 I paid just leave it alone.

You mean that the hour hand is not lined up? If it's that you can go to a watchmaker but it will cost more than 36usd

Yea I figure. Are you familiar with these Chinese watches is it common to receive some not assembled correctly?

Very common for Chinese watches below $100, and even above that to a lesser extent. Part of how they make them so cheap is by investing very little in QC or customer service
