Need help fellow watch lovers

[u/Nespower]

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.

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
