14060M Crown Question ...

Hey there,

Probably a stupid question; however, how tight should one screw in their crown? Can one "over tighten" it?

Cheers and thanks in advance.

Any Rolex the crown just need screwing down just finger tight,the crown is not meant to be hard flush with the case..If you over tighten it you could damage the seal in the crown so just finger tight no more
