This is clearly an F1 fanboy/girl watchmaker’s doing at the factory. Probably Tifosi...

The cocked-up bezel? Well it’d make the slow 2020 Ferrari SF1000 seem to go faster by several KPH...

Thank you
Its off enough that I would get it fixed. Requesting a new watch wont get you anywhere and is unnecessary.

No reason to think you will keep having troubles with it, but if you do, that what the warranty is for.

Whether it was off on day or not, it is a QC issue.
RSC will fix it but getting a new replacement seems unlikely.
A big disappointment especially Rolex boasts about quality.

I got the same problem with a White face Daytona bought from a AD. My watch also had a defect in the Chrono hand. Sended to the RSC in Dallas, after four weeks they fix my watch, but they also damage the hour and minutes hand. The watch was sended again for another 4 weeks . Finally got the watch back

I’d definitely get it fixed. Actually I’m surprised your AD didn’t catch that before selling it.

Rolex Daytona bezel not alligned perfectly

That’s a simple fix. You just have to pop off the bezel and straighten it out. The ceramic is very fragile, so it’s best to have a trained technician do it. RSC can literally fix this in under 5 minutes

That is so...BADASS. It's like Hogwarts for Rolex watchmakers.

Just when I think I can't love the brand more I find out something else that amazes me.

I wish Rolex took that position when my Tudor GMT date wheel would never work right, ... even after three attempts by Rolex to fix it.

If you're in Belgium, there's a RSC in Brussels. They'll gladly fix it for you.

Seems like poor QC. Not the first one.
