Upright Crown

[Oceanklassik]

I've been observing lately & nt too sure if I've got te right info. U all knw most branded watches got the logo engraved(some printed) on the watch crown right? Is it normal if after fully wound or screwed tight, the logo do not stay upright?? Tis means, for example, te rolex 5-pointed crown do not face the sky direction. I don't knw if u guys understand wat i'm trying to say...

[ohlins]

yup..... very normal that they dont face upright.......

It's ok if the logo is not upright. Doesn't make a diff...or mean that your crown is not tight enough.

You see them upright in those ads coz they want to make it look nicer only

I was staring at the crowns of new rolex watches in the window of Dicksons last weekend to observe this and noticed that many were not upright, so its normal.

BTW, the term used is that the crown is 'signed'.

If you can make it upright...that means you are gonna expect to see the crown rolling out already...

I wonder if we can make them position it upright when send in for servicing...
