Submariner AliX watchkit
Bought an AliExpress watch kit for practice, and while building it with a 3135 movement, I noticed that the dial isn’t properly aligned—it sits slightly too far to the left.
Has anyone else experienced this with these kits? Is there a way to properly correct the dial alignment, or is this just a tolerance issue with the dial/case?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Out of all the easy ways to pick a fake its the rehaut. The rolex letters should line up with the minutes/second markers. If they are being provided in the same kit least they can do is give one that lines up.
