Omega Geneve Dynamic date dial misaligning with time

First time user, very first post, I've tried to search the forum and didn't find anything about this particular problem.

I've got my first Omega about a month and a half back, and it needs a bit of work to adjust (running late about 30 seconds/day) and after a while I noticed that the date dial is becoming more and more misaligned, the numbers creep up (in a stable state, during the day). When I've got the watch the date was perfectly in the center. See the current state in the picture below, not only "7" is almost covered, but you can make out a bit of upcoming "8" below.

Is this something the watchmaker can fix, is this a sign that my movement isn't genuine at all? I haven't open the watch, as I'm not very confident in my manual skills, so I can't validate the movement, but from external examination it seems to be cal. 560 or 562 (no quickset date, and seconds do not stop when the crown is pulled).

Unfortunately watch repair shop is closed due to Covid, so I can't just take it there. Any advice?

Wait until you can take it to your watchmaker or see if you can mail it to your watchmaker (or someone who is recommend here). There's nothing you can do to fix it yourself

I'm sure the movement is perfectly genuine. It will likely just need a good service.

Welcome to the forum! Nice looking watch. I’d stop using it until I could get it serviced - avoiding wear and tear on a watch that clearly needs a service.

"avoiding wear and tear on a watch that clearly needs a service"

That's sounds like a great advice, thanks! Why didn't I think of that, maybe because I love this watch so much I wear it all the time, only taking that off for a shower (even though it is 'waterproof', I wanna make sure it is certified first, because who knows - the crystal is generic for instance).

Great idea about trying to mail it in, I'll do inquiries.

I sent it over mail to the watchmaker (Nesbit's in Seattle) and unfortunately it seems to be a frankenwatch. They opened it up and found that while the movement is Omegas it doesn't match the case (562 didn't come for that case, so it was rigged together with limited degree of success), the dial feet broken are the dial had been glued on. So they aren't repairing frankenwatches.

What would my options be at this moment?

Who sold it to you? I would go back to them and ask for a refund as my first port of call.

1. Suck it up and consider noob tax paid, move on.

2. Find another watchmaker to bodge it back together.

I reached out to the seller who was also unpleasantly surprised, and returned the watch for refund. I guess got lucky, noob tax smaller than expected..
