Who cares, you can't change it anyway.

Ya think.

This is just not something that I expect. Can’t even see the crown.

Omega has a patent on some kind of crown alignment but hasn’t made it in any watches.

adawil2002 · 29 May 2018, 01:45 PM

None of mine line up.

swils8610 · 29 May 2018, 01:49 PM

No clue. I’ve never looked.

My WG sub lines up nicely. My RG YM not so much

My BLNR doesn’t but my Exp II does

Not that it matters to me.

You can't do much about the crown, but you can take off those stickers before they get too grubby...

I can't sleep until I have all my crowns aligned.

jimcameron · 29 May 2018, 05:05 PM

I was told that they do it on purpose, and then sit around the lunch room and laugh about it.

brucethemanlee · 29 May 2018, 05:05 PM

All my rolexes line up differently

I have Exp2 that lined up perfectly until it was serviced at RSC

To be honest ...don’t care about it because as one poster said even if it is aligned as the runner gaskets wear down the the crown will become misaligned

Have to agree and who the hell is going to look at a winding crown while on the wrist unless owner of watch has extreme OCD.

Psijason · 29 May 2018, 10:58 PM

Perfectly upside down.

Explorer 11 2018

Don't care as long as it does it's job keeping out water.

Mine lines up perfectly, twelve o’clock. I think that over the years as you loosen then tighten the crown it will start to get out of alignment, I try not to over tighten mine.

Only the SkyD in gold is engineered to be always lined up

mschipa · 30 May 2018, 02:06 AM

Funny story. On my first Rolex, the crown lines up perfectly. The second one doesn't and when I first got it I brought it to a few ADs who all told me that they don't all line up. I couldn't believe that Rolex would not require the crowns to line up on all models. Anyway, several years later, I finally relented and now see that it is indeed random. Though I still don't like it and the crown SHOULD line up, dammit!

You too? I'm actually in a panic today over how to clean mine. I'm fresh out of unicorn tears and I also can't find the Phoenix feather pillow I strap it around at night in order to keep the caseback from being scuffed up.

There is absolutely no such thing as perfect crown alignment. It doesn't exist.

maizerage25 · 30 May 2018, 04:22 AM

One at 6:00 and one at 3:00.

Jocke · 30 May 2018, 04:40 AM

My crowns line up pretty well.
