An update: I can have it checked with an authorized service center. Because it is still under warranty. They can send it for service for free but it would take months because Certina doesn't have a local service center where I live they need to send it elsewhere. Anyway, I'll be traveling a few months from now so maybe I can have it checked there myself, and maybe it would be a quick fix.
I was quite bothered by it, but I was thinking that this is a limited edition. It's like when collecting currencies, if there's a misprint it's rare. But, I will still talk to them about it.
Thanks for letting me know your thoughts. I'll think about it and see if I really want to return this one. It's the last stock with my local AD.
I was looking for this recently under 40mm (because I have a preference for smaller watches). I wanted to buy the Seiko SPB185 through a local AD in my country for around Php 49K (around $980), then I found the Certina DS Action Diver 38mm for Php 34k (around $680). I was like, this looks clean, it's Swiss (it's my first swiss watch and most of my watches are Seikos), a solid movement, and 300 meters water resistance ISO certified (like I'll dive that deep 😂). So I bought the Certina, loving it and never looked back at the Seiko Steelmaster.
