2) received it back and the dial was crooked - easy to tell by the misaligned date wheel.

3) received it back and the dial was still crooked.

4) finally they had the head watchmaker do a full service again and perform all the work himself and got it right.

Someone who saw the drama on one of the forums made me an offer and bought it from me.
