Oh, great. I can see future classifieds. "... crown sits vertical." That oughta be worth another grand at least!!!

Mine sits perfectly square with the crown upwards (as per my avatar). The secret is not to squish the gaskets by continuously overtightening it - just finger tightness seems fine - leave those pliers out of it!

When I was a cop, my Crown (Victoria - aka Police Interceptor) parked anywhere I wanted it to!

Hijack complete!

Mine lines up at 2. When I picked up my Sub from the service center after I smashed the crystal they lady handed me back my watch with the coronet parked exactly at 12. I thought cool they aligned it somehow.... Wrong she just backed the crown off a little until it lined up. For all the precision Rolex spouts off about they can't seem to cut the threads the same on every watch / crown? Seems pretty basic to me... hmmm. This would have driven Howard Highes over the edge!!! "Quarentine...quarentine...quarentine..."

Only 20% line up correctly....sad number.

Mine is upside down, right at 6 o'clock. Right side up would be better, but at least it's symmetrical.

My Expy II's is at 3 'o clock and my SD's is at 9 'o clock.

... is one of those little things that bugs me about Rolex.

It would certainly cost them very little to set up their tooling such that each crown lines up perfectly. That is the attention to fine detail of which Rolex purports to be the "king". Just a shame they don't follow through in this regard.

Oh and don't get me started on the lume.....

Mine's parked against the case!

That is if I don't forget to screw it down after I set the time...
