Alignment (chapter ring to dial) is quite good on this one...I have to REALLY examine it to say there is any misalignment at all...but there is a very, very tiny amount that I don't notice at all when wearing it. A must have, and I'm still waiting on the exchange process on the all blue SRP773 that was DOA.

Every WIS wants perfect though, so I guess it may require human alignment if you want every single one to come out perfect. That's my take anyway...maybe others have different ideas. (I have seen a few that are pretty bad from an alignment perspective...to the point it would bug me. This one and the Blue that I returned look pretty great though). DOA is (dead on arrival)...My blue one that was delivered had a problem with the movement and would not run when it arrived.
