Hi David,
adjusting the tension ring is no big deal. It can be rotated with the plexi (crystal).
You can do it yourself if you have the skill and this tool:

Otherwise I would recommend to ask you local watchmaker – there is nothing more embarassing than putting too much pressure on an original Carrera plexi with the tool and hearing that cracking noise...
I agree that the slightly off-center T Swiss is unusual, but would not worry too much about that. Otherwise the watch looks fine to me. In my humble opinion, the 3647 S is the purest Carrera of them all.

: Hello, first time caller long time listener. I'm considering
: purchasing this Heuer Carrera 45, however I noticed the tension
: ring is misaligned with the dial. Also, the "T Swiss"
: seems slightly misaligned with the main indices. I wanted to
: ask, is the alignment of the tension ring something that can
: easily be adjusted? Would I need to get it serviced to correct
: or could I do it myself? Also are there any alarm bells in
: general with this watch? Seems to me to present quite nicely
: otherwise. Thanks for your time!
