On my (new) GMT II, the crown symbol on the winder is horizontal: when the watch is flat, the crown's base is on the left.

I have seen photographs where the symbol is upright.

Probably not important, but I was wondering: would the Swiss not make sure that the winder is consistently set the same way on all watches?

Alcan · 15 February 2007, 09:29 PM

The coronet on the crown of my Sub was at 6:00 position with the crown screwed in. I had the crown and tube replaced as part of an overhaul last July, and the new crown has the coronet in just about exactly the same position. I guess it comes down to how the tube is positioned on the lathe when the threads are cut into it.

Besides, it gives a more personalized flavor to ur watch..

None of my 7 are exactly the same position... they unxcrew it for the pictures.

The crown on my nondate Seadweller is upside down.

Scooby · 15 February 2007, 11:45 PM

My crown base is just south of the 3 o'clock position.

rusi · 16 February 2007, 01:22 AM

Usually all rolexs I have seen & I am very keen to see the position of the cronet every time i see a rolex.
Some time ago our dear JJ had bought his famous TT blue with the cronet absolutely upright (just as he is is), pl.

JJ can we have a pic. of it.

colemanitis · 16 February 2007, 04:31 AM

The only one that is close to lining up perfectly is the blasted LV... (actually almost 12:15 to be exact) I swear it is making my other watches jealous...

to show it who's boss, I'm wearing my SD for a week...

Colemanitis? That 4000 foot club logo is badass!

A. Jacobs · 16 February 2007, 11:40 AM

greenfan · 8 March 2007, 08:34 PM

greenfan · 8 March 2007, 08:36 PM

Btw I can see some differences on the crown. GMT's and Exp's have a flat line under the crown, while Sub's and SD's have three dots......

Arturo · 8 March 2007, 09:42 PM

My new LV is perfectly upright. My GMT is not...and never was. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
