By turning the bezel a 1/4 click it should align as top, bottom and 45 are off by the same amount.

I'll ask them to align it and send me one more picture. I think in this case, it may just need to be turned. If this is the same watch i had that got fixed, (not a brand new replacement) i'm pretty sure, the diamond point does align perfectly with the 12 marker. just needs to be rotated one more click
I hope you are right, but it looks identical to my QC pic, where the final click rest is 1/2 a click off.
You're not gonna care about the alignment on the 3, 6, or 9.
Because the first thing and the only thing you will be looking at is the alignment at the diamond point at 12.

The Diamond marker alignment still looks a bit off after they sent me a new QC pic. What do you think?

maybe i'm being way too picky now. hahaha

complete opposite of my first QC pic response. this is what happens when you receive a bad watch and have to wait 2 months to receive an exchange

It´s a timing device with an inbuilt, simple but efficient 60-minute stopwatch which can be given it´s purpose. In the sample below it´s set at countdown, I´ll have an appointment at 5. I´ve got 16 minutes until 4:45, than I´ll have to grab my keys, leave and still have another 15 minutes to get timely to destination. It also could be used to do decompression stops and get to the surface that way:)
Once You get the hang of using diving watches that way in daily routine, it´s difficult to change to something else.
When You just set it for "next task" on a daily basis old tech is much faster to use and to set than the countdown on Your phone:)

Yeah looks good.
next step is buying 2x torx T3 screwdrivers and the diver's strap you want to replace the sailcloth with.

I heard they started using regular screws on the lugs instead of the original gen like hex screws
