I own a YM six digits and a SD43. I don't have this misalignment problem. I would get it taken care of.

Thank you all for the responses. I tried 'nudging' it slightly as suggested by a couple of responses, and it worked! Perfectly straight now!

Mine was like this too! After 24 hours it bugged me so much I demanded to swap (I happened to know that my AD had a second 114060 at a different branch). However, had there not been a second one at my AD, I would have just kept it. My new 114060 does not have this issue.

It looks like your first picture isn’t straight and one click off. The second picture looks like the 12 is on the pip so it looks correct.

Click it and move it right for any play leftover.

Glad to hear - re-reading my earlier post advice, I now realize I made an error in mixing-up my clockwise / anti-clockwise directions - Doh!!! But you got the gist ok. Enjoy your watch.

So did you turn it clockwise or counter clockwise

It would bother me too much and I’d end up bringing it back for them/RSC to fix.

It straightened up just by nudging it a bit clockwise as suggested here - even to my crazy OCD eye it is perfectly aligned now!

There are 2 possibilities. All of them are like this, then there is nothing you can do. Or it’s a bad batch, which is your best case scenario, because if it’s a mistake then you just got yourself a collector item, and you should keep it intact, as someday in many years it will become a rare and valuable watch.
