@@outsiderwatches people are now clamouring to get the misaligned dial before it's fixed, as the misaligned dials may be more collectible. Same as coins and sports cards collecting---a blemish increases value in the end...maybe.
Yeah Orient really dropped the ball with the dial on these. I see yours has the defect. To be fair they recalled all these so I'm sure you could still send it back to Orient for a replacement.
I think you are right, but I’m keeping mine. I quite like the error in a weird way. There are plenty out there with the error so it won’t have any value, but it’ll be more unique year after year…
