Between my father and I, we have 2 x DJ41 and a ceramic sub date and all three are slightly to the right.

Thought I'd see what others have experienced.

Mine hangs slightly to the left...

Just checked the Sub I am wearing with a loupe it is centered. I think I have checked them all before and they are all good. Certainly have seen plenty that are just off.

My friend came from UK and he has a BLNR. His crown is also slightly to the right. From what I`ve read BLNR is getting hit the most with this "problem".

Centre bang on. Explorer 214270

Bladeshot · 7 September 2019, 09:59 AM

These 2 are dead center, but my 116719 is off. I’ve noticed they are not quite centered about half the time, across many references. There is some wiggle when tightening the dial screws and I can see how they could be off a little. But I’m over it.

It really depends on camera angle. With an iPhone, much of the image should be of the left side of the watch to center the lens.

My 114060 was off to the right a good deal and I sent it in to RSC and they centered it for me.

I never noticed that before.

Looks reasonable to me...I'm not complaining! FWIW, my job is to make measurements in nanometers. Everything in the world is misaligned to some degree or other!!!

This has been discussed a lot and the crown is aligned as it’s etched into the case. It’s the dial that has some play and can be slightly off. I’ve yet to see a Daytona where it’s off, since the subdials will keep the dial aligned correctly. This tends to happen most on Subs and GMTs.
