View submission: First Watchdives purchase and the bezel is misaligned
One easy fix you could try, you'll need a hairdryer and some thin butyl gloves (surgical or tyre fitter kind).
Click the bezel so it's off but to the left of the 12 marker and then put on the gloves.
Using the extra grip from the gloves, get a feel of turning just the bezel insert with your fingertips. It won't move, but you need to practice the action.
Heat the insert with the hairdryer, try to only get the bezel as much as possible..
When you think it's hot enough, try rotating the insert clockwise, gripping the surface with the gloves. You should get it to give a little now you've softened the glue.
If it doesn't move, try a bit more heat.
Once it's aligned, leave the watch alone to cool down.

Won't that just screw up the 6, where it's perfectly aligned
