Crown rehaut misalignment
Just wondering how common this is ?
Mine is off to the right. It doesn't bother me all that much but just curious if this is common. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk |

Yeah it’s very common, misaligned more often than not on the subs. It does bother me but I’m very anal

The rehaut is part of the case and cannot move, if anything its the dial thats attached to the movement top plate by its dial feet and has a very tiny lateral movement.Now if they got rid of all these so called alignment points, perhaps then most would be happy .But if they done that perhaps then some would have nothing to moan about.

I have owned a few Submariners that have slight misalignment. Never bothered me.

Lack of attention to detail but it's normal with Rolex.

I have seen some zoomed in shots of a $100k Richard Mille, comparing to that, your $8000 Sub is almost perfect.

It's super common. If you look at images from websites and magazines it's not really difficult to find a misaligned rehaut as well.
I believe you can send it to a RSC to address this. |
