To allow repairs in the field without tools (removing the cover and diaphragm to clear out sand or silt).
Best wishes.

The hole for the pin is on the outside of the diaphragm so no problem letting crud in.

My question would be, "why have a pin in the first place" or "why design it with a pin in the first place". AJ mentioned some CE thing... I'm thinking, "has there ever been a problem keeping the faceplate in place in the past?" I certainly never heard of anybody having the faceplate come off on it's own. Also, why does SP include those pins in the annual kit? Is pin removal a destructive process (to the pin)? How hard is the pin removal? Any special tools needed? I still think it is a pinheaded idea to included it in the "new and improved" design.

I suspect that pin serves at least 2 purposes. 1) It keeps divers from easily going where Scubapro does not want them to go. If everybody started looking inside, more divers would realize how simple a regulator is. 2) It keeps tech from over tightening the cover on the case and cracking parts or making it harder to disassemble.
Finally, why the spare pin?? It's because they are so hard to find in the vacuum cleaner bag. Come on, would you really want to pay $20 for a service kit that did not include one?

3) To align the insigia
Removal is no big deal with the reg's I bought from new and cared for. I have one, bought used, where an idiot replaced the plastic pin with a nail made of iron and, of course, rusty. That one required quite some matter removal from the body. The irony is: the cover stays put without the nail, so the guy before me deserve a stronger qualifier than "idiot".

The ironic nail became rusty? Makes sense to me, that's what iron does. 
Before Twitter came along and stole the term for their clients, I referred to part twit/part idiot types as "twidiots." But I think the fool who installed that nail probably deserves a stronger epithet.

Since my vocabulary is lacking, maybe we should escalade this: I'd suggest another body part removal, like cutting off the hand that drove the nail in. Or is it too messy?
Has anyone read this on dealer pricing policy?

Congrats, Australia is now officially the world's first Scubapro Free Country!
Actually, I think price fixing and cartels are unlawful in most countries, except nobody ever bothered looking at the scuba business.
OTOH, and in spite of price fixing, I never have any problem getting a good price from a friendly LDS.
