I know I'm OCD particular, when it comes to stuff like this The purpose of the thread was to see what other people's views are. It's very clear that the majority aren't bothered in the slightest. Fine! Some others are bothered by it. Also, fine! My 2p worth is that this isn't acceptable by Rolex's high standards. In my opinion it's like seeing a luxury vehicle with a wonky license plate, but this is my opinion only. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk |

I can be viewed as it’s fine or not fine. The assumption is that it hasn’t been mucked with by an authorized party. This misalignment can be proof that it has been opened. |

Rolex Crown Alignment
It’s just the dial. There’s some play in it before they tighten it all down. Easily fixed and not uncommon.

Yes. But I think the point is for what we pay for these watches the QC should be a little better at the factory. Like someone should at least go over it with a loupe, check for dial alignment, dust inside and so on. One would hope at least.

If anything, its proof it hasn't been opened, as a good watchmaker would want it better aligned. And you'll very rarely see that on a superfake/clone either.

I don’t disagree. I do think Rolex QC could and should be better for the prices they charge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That's a lot of man hours when the company is churning out well over one million watches a year and maybe 99% of owners won't check for alignment, dust particles, etc.
