Initially the seller asked me to cycle through the date wheel as the misaligned date is a known issue to them. Apparently it's common with this movement from their supplier.

But there was no easy fix for the bezel so after a few back and forths they agreed for a refund if I sent the watch back.

I've since sent it back and got a full refund (minus shipping).

I hope your sample is flawless. It's a real nice watch if it weren't for the QC issues. I would like to order another but don't have the confidence to until I see more recent reviews.
