Question for Seiko Monster owners!!

Hello,

I just recieved my monster in the mail today, And have noticed the day seems to be not centered in the window. I am curious if this is normal or if something is wrong. I have tried kind of playing around with it; I spin through the days to see if it resets its self properly. Does anyone else see this? I could be too picky, but if that's the way the are(off center) then I will let it go and just wear it. As I said I just bought it and can return it if need be, Please help!

I had a monster and did not have that problem.
I would suggest rotating the hour hands a full day to see if cycling it to the next day that way does anything and if it does not then Id send it back.

Just saw a same quesiton on WUS (I assume it's you).
Is it off-set at any time setting ?
Both of my Monster's day will become noticeably off-set around 7PM or so.

you caught me! I do not have the watch with me right now, when I get home I will see if it has centered (I set it a couple hours ago). And try to spin the hour around to see, I will let you know thanks!

I have rotated the hour hand all the way around(24hours), moved the day and date back and forth, And it is still not centered, I think I might return it; any other suggestions?

Send it back.... No sense in trying to fix something that is new.

Some amount of off-set is probably within the mfg. tolerance however if it's off-set that much at any time setting then return it before you lose a chance to return/exchange.

Yes, as noted above, send her back. My Monster is perfactly alligned between about 4AM- 9PM, then she starts to move after those time periods. Definitely a little too off center for my tastes.
