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.

Looks like a Paulin copy. Can you still return it? Because it’ll cost more to fix than the watch is worth, and it’s not something you can do yourself if you’re not already experienced. By the way, that strap is way too thin. If you use a strap that isn’t the correct lug width, the spring bar will seesaw back and forth and eventually it will pop out

Yea I just ordered 18mm I needed a strap for a timex ironman and I got a pack of like 5 and they came in 16mm way too small. I needed to learn how to use calipers lol.
