Is it possible adjust fully lock position of crown ?

[skydweller_sg]

not too bothered if the crown is upright.. to me its just for photo aesthetics

Get a panerai. Fully aligned crown every time and takes only 0.1 second to do it.

Mine TT GMT has the crown exactly upside down in fully locked position. Will RSC upright it if I ask them?

Thanks, would there be a fee involve if the watch is still under warranty ? Have anyone went to the local RSC for the same issue ?

Many have asked and more have discussed in the forum. You can actually search to read them up.

It seems there's nothing you can do about it except maybe, drop by the ROLEX Service Centre to get the technicians to do it. Of course, there's likely a fee.

Is it possible adjust fully lock position of crown ?

Mine for some reason points to like a 2 o'clock position when it is fully locked and is pretty annoying.

Is that normal, seems like something so small for Rolex not to be perfect.

Does yours point perfectly to a 12o'clock position / upright position ? ?

Later void warranty!! Now is a matter of quality vs beauty.... I will take the 1st...

But i suspect the waterproofness might just be compromised.

Some years ago I saw a watchmaker did this. First he separate the crown and the movement from the case, then he slowly file the thread on the case and constantly screw in the crown to check alignment....

When I had my first luxury watch during my 18th bday, a Tag, I had wanted to align the shield logo 'upright' but i had since moved on.
I realised at the end of the day, for me, its purely a crave for 'complete' perfection', which adds to nothing. So now i am totally 'forgiving' in that aspect.

If you are really into that detail, the thread and the revolution has to be timed and calculated, you might need some grinding too, i dont know.

i agreed with bros here...my sub also the same...my ball engineer master 2 very swee align one

Is there a way to adjust the winding crown so that it lines up correctly? I feel slightly miffed that the crown on my Breitling Chrono Avenger lines up perfectly and that cost me only a third of my new Sub 116610LN

this crown lining up thing is by no means a mark of distinction... purely esthetical.

it is possible.

you need to have the entire tube replaced and then slowly adjusted.

or you can try finding a replacement crown that will sit just right when it's screwed down.

either way, you're screwed! (tongue in cheek)

None of my 3 rolex is align nicely...

[pegasi]

A valid claim, but I'm afraid it's not rolex's specification to align the logo of the winding crown swee swee during assembly. Why they dun do that i also dunno.

I got my new GMT2C with the crown upside-down.
