Looks that way from the head on view as well. Hope it's just an illusion! Either way, it's not that big a deal and RSC can align no sweat.

He he, as couple of people already noticed, the crown is off a bit to the left from the marker. In the head on shot, you can see that the center arm of the crown is off relative to white 12o'clock marker.
No hate JJ, just want to keep up the tradition that not a single Rolex watch can live up to our anal-retentive standards.

Enjoy your watch, it looks beautiful. I'm hoping for a SS GMTII without polished center links. Oh well! :)

The camera angle was slightly askew. If you look at it dead on, everything is perfect and superbly aligned!!

JJ take the plastic off and wear it nice.
A friend of mine wears the same like you (also M serie) for 7 months now.
No problems.

The question remains, does the "winding thingy" align vertically ? !
Now, take a picture of this too as this has yet to be disclosed and you are under obligation to disclose this too !
