Date seems low align after dial change

[Erict719]

The date wheel have not been remove, but its lower after changed dial. How to fix it guys?

The date window in the new dial is probably offset a bit from its location on the original dial. Unfortunately, unless you have 1 of the older Rolex watches that had a press-fit (as opposed to footed) dial, your only options are to replace the original dial, buy another dial with the same date window location as your original dial or re-cut the date window in your new dial (which will likely damage the paint, requiring a complete repaint) so the date is properly centered within it.

If the offset is not too much you could slightly bent the dial feet counterclockwise. But really slightly! So you are able to turn the dial some degrees into the right direction. Cheers Andi
