Explorer II Crown shows 1 thread when screwed in?

This is a new Explorer II. I now there should be a gap. Is it normal to have this much gap, I can see one thread from the back?
Thanks in advance,

It's fine.

You must have some clearance plus enough to allow the gasket to be compressed over-time.

Yep. I've got the slightest of gaps on my newest one.

Ditto on my EXPII. Just out of curiosity I had to look at my DJ and FWIW it's perfectly flush.

Hmmmm this may be another way to tell a fake explorer.
I had not noticed that mine was like this until I looked

Over time the threads will wear and you'll see it reduce just a little.

Just checked mine, it's exactly the same as all of you have described.

I should have been more worried if the crown went against the case.
