When new , 'B' on crown line up perfectly at 12 O'clock when wound tight - just noticed today that when screwed in fully , 'B' emblem sits about between 2-3o clock

Is this normal ?

With under warranty to feb nezt year so wondering if I should send it in to breitling service for repair

Looking at mine right now, also sits at around 2 o'clock, never really noticed where it was when it was new.

Strange - I have a photo of mine when brand new and it was lined up perfectly north (12o clock)

Probably the rubber inside crown gets compressed a bit from opening and closing and gets that little extra turn. I'm sure it's normal, I'll check my other 6 SAs later and see what they look like

Perfectly normal, it's less common for them to line up, in fact on older models it was totally random to start with.

I think as long as it screws down tight you guys are all set.
