Date change at round 20 00 not midnight

[lazarini]

hi all looks like the watchmaker that scrached the dial on the day date today managed also to make the date snap aheat at around 20 00 / 8 pm and not midnight ... i also noticed that the day and date indicator are both not copletely centered and tend to be a bit on the upper side then center (both of them)

Thats an easy fix or ?

Movement apears to run fine othervise and keeps good time ...

Easy fix, but I'd not send the watch back to the same guy. He sounds dangerous.

To fix the hand issue you 'just' need to set the time at the moment of date change, remove the hands, and place them back in the correct position (12 o'clock).

Or put differently, the hands were put back on the wrong way. It has happened to me recently as well. My date is changing over at 3 am.

And the dial, by the sound of things.
