It seems that if you rotate the dial clockwise by 1 mm that the alignment problem would be fixed. Wondering if there is a way to do that.

I wasn't going to mention the alignment and see if anybody noticed.
I knew I was going to end up with one when I mentioned. It doesn't bother me and when I looked it up prior to arrival, it was mentioned on forumss that dial / chapter alignment issues is nothing new with Seiko.
Can't say I have ever heard of or noticed that with the dozen's of Seiko watches I have owned, though all of the vintage models and mods had been worked on except for one. My Tuna or multitude of MM300's never had that problem.
Congrats Barry
Mine is the same, which I too kinda expected. Seems all or most black dials are slightly mislaligned. Mine isn't enough to bother me or get is changed.
Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais!

I finally got lucky!
It's really a lot of watch for the price.
I'd like a bead-blasted version too.

One is enough for me! Gio's latest escapades Ice Hockey and Braces are cutting into my watch funds.

Barry, the kid's playing hockey. Save your money on fixing his teeth. The other venture will take care of those in proper fashion.

Thanks Brice!
I guess my photos aren't as good as Art's because mine is a blue dial.

I didn't think of that.

We watched a NHL player get his face cut open by a skate after he fell last night and I turned to Gio and asked him if he was happy he wears a full cage now.
The CHO (Chief Home Officer) made the decision, I am just paying for it. My wife just got done with her braces last year. I have one child and get to pay for two set's of braces.

Regards
Barry

Well there goes the watch fund! Those things can be expensive. Hopefully Gio can escape anything even close to what you described (holy shit that sounds awful!).

I played hockey and had braces when I was a kid. It was long before facemasks. My lips were always shredded.

I got to buy a special mouthpiece for braces, which was more expensive than the one he usually uses which isn't the cheapest to begin with.
I am starting to feel like barrycantwin.

Not today.
It is overcast and now getting dark. At least the bezel looks blue.

Wow , I think your orthodontist funded one of his hobbies with your kid.
I should be paying approximately 35 to 40% less for Gio by the time he is done.
Edited: 35% to 40% LESS
