Well I must be a lucky boy because my case back is perfectly aligned so that the model
number is directly opposite the crown. Never even noticed or checked til after I read this thread. I am fulfilled.

It's a 2004 chrono superocean. Had a full
overhaul a couple of years ago and I have no idea if it was aligned this way before then!

Perhaps we should suggest that Breitling develop a new case back that incorporates a rotatable disc that enables the wearer to align the logos however they wish. HECK!!! I should have patented that idea before I shared with the world......

I wonder how long we can keep this up? C'mon, how many of you have had a sneaky check of your case backs?

Oh no!!! All of my Breitlings have misaligned case backs :-(
What to do now?
Do you think Breitling can fix that?

Now I am going to have to start worrying because none of mine are aligned.

But my Wakmann is aligned. Breitling should have taken lessons from Wakmann!!!!!!
