That would bug me quite a bit.
The only other watch that I can think of that has a Zodiac with month indication is the Ulysse Nardin Tellurium.
I remember it was really hard to set it as well. On the UN, the little ticks under on the month names indicate the beginning and ending of weeks. On the Journe they seem to indicate 10 days per tick, but it seems from your picture all the months are the same length. That might be part of the problem.

Misaligned September
I thought the perennial alignment problem with the Zodiac was finally solved. Unfortunately not. The beginning of September has been somewhat a disappointment. Each day I question myself wondering is it or is it not aligned. Have a look and let me know wh...
Hi Brad, I take it that by now, the 5th................
That the alignment should be sitting in September? Not knowing the history about your Zodiac, is it only this month that has been a problem, or were the previous months the same?
That would bug me quite a bit.

Misaligned september.
It's amazing how someone can fall so much in love with a brand that the defect becomes "SOMETHING SPECIAL"with a watch that is misaligned when the brand is all out about accuracy. Are you long because your bullish or are you bullish because your long? Jus...
For me it's not about accuracy
Different collectors care about different things. For some it's all about accuracy and others it may be design and craftsmanship. I bought the Zodiac because of the uniqueness of the design. At the time it was also one of FPJ's few center hand watches. Wi...
There's accuracy and there's accuracy
I certainly am on board with the general spirit of your comment. I have to say, though, that three or four days' worth of misalignment goes beyond what would be tolerable to me. I know that it isn't perfectly analogous, but would you tolerate a traditiona...
no offense but I agree with Jose
You almost sounded like you have no choice but to live with a defect and almost convincing yourself that it's 'special' or 'acceptable'? No offense here but if you need a design, let alone 'unique' nor functional and paying a high price for it, I'm sure t...
Well...with the collection of Brad,
he will be able to send this back to Journe when he has enough fun with this Zodiac piece. The way I see it is, it's interesting for Brad to have this beauty having the special treatment of being spending numerous time with Journe to get it perfected. Eve...
oh my
Must admit I'm disappointed to see this even AFTER it was allegedly repaired w/ a fix for exactly this purpose.
I am not too sure I understand the challenge
of getting the outter disk match with the first of each month? where does the 5 days shift come from, is a question that I would like to ask? If something is jumping inadvertently and shifts it by a day here and there without you noticing. (let's say it w...
Maybe Hope
I too have suffered the misalignment with the Zodiaque, returned it a few times. Most recently, though, at least for the last two months, my alignment has been perfect, including this September. There may be hope, but the whimsy of this watch makes it wor...
