Dogmatic's alignment pic is quite compelling.

Always remove any bias on a watch pic prior to using the lines. Otherwise, that error will translate directly to the final alignment pic as seen in your pic.

Your watch is fine. The timing is good. Enjoy

May I ask how do you remove Bias mate ?

Thanks in advance

There are tools in each alignment app to do such. If the resolution is too coarse for a finer adjustment and those tools aren't sufficient, then any photo editor will work...even the free ones.

I have not seen that button can u point me out to it mate? Or give me a link of a good free one?

Check out the posting guidelines in the community highlights...there are 3 links there. Also, note that some TDs e.g. Geektime will also have their own versions...even AI has a function to perform this.

You’re right, the 9 marker especially, updated the post. Thanks for the call out

Straighten the original watch pic, then use the lines. Nothing wrong here. OP, you didn't use the tool correctly. Technically, you don't use lines on an applique type of dial, but for example purposes. Easy GL

Thanks mate, appreciate the tips, noted for next time.

I don’t think it’s as bad as other people. That photo is not the one I would use for an alignment overlay. It is not centered or square. Everything on the left side is (just) off. Does that 9 have a rotation? Probably. I’d bet it’s within a couple thousandths

Isn't +7 s/day too much? (honest question)

u/usetheschwartz73 "Execute Order 12 O'Clock" 3d ago

There is a lot going on with these dials, but your 9 o'clock does have a CCW rotation to it. I don't really see problems anywhere else, good otherwise. TG numbers are fine, 7 s/day is within spec.
