Question for those who have the 42mm Kelly Slater Edition in hand: Does the caseback have "Kelly Slater" engraved? Dealer pics show them all with the standard edition caseback.

It does not, I had one a while back.
Loved it in pictures the orange and olive strap was so unique and I’m crazy enough to buy one again
QC photos arrived already.
I have two questions:
[1] The hour markers at 12 and 6 appear crooked. Does they look that way to anyone else? Could just be the photos?
[2] I'm going to ask them to confirm that this is the 42mm and not 44mm. I can't tell from the photos.
Does anyone see any other concerns?
If someone is able to do that thing by creating a graphic with intersecting lines over the dial to show if the markers are properly aligned, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd like to send it to the dealer.

Take the first pic you posted and open it on your phone. Then hold it 3 feet away from your face and tell me if the markers look crooked. That's the reality of it.

That pearl looks like BLS which only makes 42mm if I'm not mistaken so you should be good on that. The BLS is priced very reasonably. I think your watch looks great and the green strap is perfect with it. Also, sorry to that guy who ordered it without that green strap somewhere in another thread smh....what were you thinking??? lol. I know he's sold it since but at least get both straps to try them then sell the green (to me) but you need the green strap with it otherwise it's not really the Kelly Slater version and just another black and orange watch. That guy did not get the full experience. Enjoy yours and if when you're ready to move it on, pm me and I will take it off your hands 1st dibs ;-)
New QC photo above. The 12 and 6 markers still look misaligned to me. They seem to be rotated slightly counter clockwise. Or is it just the angle?

@jj69 I'm not worried about alignment. I would accept based off the 1st set of pics. BUT your second hand isn't green like it should be. It's painted red on the tip like spare parts were used. For me slight misalignment doesn't matter but the green accents help with the personality of that particular watch. Thatwatchguy's BLS 42 posted earlier also had a green second hand as well as trusty time's pics. I would want the green second hand.

I don't know how I missed that! I guess sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees, as they say...
