Need some help with my Zodiaque...

... after I just became member of this illustrious club by buying a (used) Calendrier as well as a Zodiaque. When the Zodiaque arrived, I realized that it hadn't run for more than four month. So I had to set the date - what was easy. But then I realized on January 1, that month/signs of the zodiaque and date are out of sync - by two days. Any idea how to correct that? (Included with the box was a letter by F.P. Journe to the former owner, saying that in 2008 it was revised and everything was fine with this watch. So I guess, it has to do with the date adjustment...)
And a second question. The numbers of the date do not always show nicely in the window. Especially the one's "jump" sometimes a little higher than they should. Nothing dramatically, but not a perfect view. Any suggestion on that? (When setting the watch and adjusting the date in a regular, fast winding "flow" this didn't happen.)
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answers...

... and I'm probably sending the Zodiaque to FPJ. But I wonder, how often it has to be sent there to get it finally fixed. The last service was in 2008 and I guess, at that time the correct setting was done. However, it is a brilliant looking "piece of ar...

Hopefully this will be the last time!

I share your view that its a brilliant piece of art! I love the watch and think it gets more wrist time on me then most other Journes.
