Chapter Ring Alignment - SRPE03
So I just noticed this and it isn't super terrible, but my chapter ring is slightly misaligned. Is this par for the course for a Seiko Turtle? Should I take it in to my AD?
I can live with it, and don't want to be that guy with my AD. But also, I'm guessing something like this is covered. Should I wait until my warranty is almost up?
Any advice from you guys would be appreciated. Either way I still love this beautiful grenade!

Making classic watch homage faces for Fitbit and Android, has inspired me to get into the actual watch hobby. Much to the chagrin of my lovely wife who does not share my enthusiasm. (it's a lot of ent...

That’s excellent for a Seiko.

I mean I don't really know any better so I think it's great!
I never would have noticed that and I’m having trouble seeing it even when it’s printed out. But honestly, I’m not terribly observant. Bottom line, if it bothers you at all you should take it back, it’s not likely to bother you less as time goes on.
I’d be worried it was a fake if the bezel was 100% lined up.

It doesn't bother me, just noticed it. But also am new to this whole watch buying thing, so want to make sure I'm not making any mistakes.
I love the King... it is my go to watch when I need to go to work. It definitely gets the majority of the wrist time.
The aligning isn’t too bad. Run it under the hot water tap for 20-30 seconds and try to move it with your thumbs. The warm water will reheat the glue and you can fine tune the bezel alignment without too much work.
Must be your first Seiko, is it? 😂
A little cheeky there, I admit. Misalignment is part of the Seiko design language at this point, my friend. Still. Beauty of a watch!
I guess I just have to own it! I'm glad you guys confirmed it's normal before I got the side eye from my AD.
It would be worth a lot of money if it was a Rolex
My 2nd ed. Monster has the same 'problem'- but as i myself am not perfect, i see it as a feature no other of my watches has😃

Wait, this isn't a Rolex?! Now I definitely need to have words with my AD.
