My hydromodded Casio Royal with the SKXMOD bronze Gen 2 case, Clockwork Synergy 22mm leather strap, and JaysandKays metal lug adapters. It's developing a nice patina and I love it.

Hello everybody, I've been using my Royale for a long time now and decided it was time to upgrade to a bronze case. I've liked the look of what SKXMOD puts out for a while and finally pulled the trigger. It arrived today and I assembled it. Not a bad process, but when I got it together I noticed that the faceplate doesn't quite align with the watch. The module is centered, the pushers are working well. But the faceplate and the case itself have significant play in them.

I got both from SKXMOD. Is this something you've experienced? Is the fit just loose and you have to try to stack it just so as you tighten the caseback? I have to say, for what I paid I'm a little disappointed in this. I know the angle doesn't sell it, but I have the whole thing taken apart right now and I'm back on the resin case for the moment. This is the best example I had handy.

Did I just get a bum faceplate? Or does everyone deal with this?

Edit: I just swapped the OG Casio faceplate in and it fits perfectly. The SKXMOD one fits loosely in my stock case also. I think it might have an error. Thanks for the help everyone!
