    Hello All

    Some of you may know I recently purchased a Speedy Tuesday. Unfortunately I wasn't lucky enough to reserve one earlier this year :(

    However I purchased one of someone on Chrono24. Loved the look of the watch and especially the reverse panda dial.

    While researching about the watch I read that the back is supposed to align up perfectly so that the wording and logo are dead center . See picture attached. However mine also attached isnt as perfect.

    Are yours all perfect or slightly off center?
    I have attached a pic of one perfect, and one off center.

    Thanks

    This was discussed recently in one of the #ST threads. The case backs don't line up. The one I picked up today is not fully aligned.

    I will never notice or care, to be frank. I would rather it be properly torqued against the gasket.

    Yeah, the truth is there's really no way to ensure alignment of the caseback AND waterproofness with a traditional screw-on caseback. I think the launch article got ahead of themselves a little bit.

    Funny though, the caseback on mine is aligned almost exactly like yours :)
