Hi just received my new 16610

and the old 14060 is on it's way out

. I have notice that the rolex logo on the crown lines up exactly straight, or is this something that rolex do now? I'll post some pics in the next couple of days.
I wanted the last of the 16610's as as much as the new ones look great i wanted the grail watch i had wanted for awhile. I also think that when the sub c comes out and after the price rise you are talking £5k i think that the sub 16610 price may go up as a result as otherwise there will be a large price gap between the two.

Anyway a great day!

the fact that the rolex logo lines up on the crown is not something that will hold more value over another rolex.. it is cool when the crown lines up, but not collectable in any way shape or form.. if anyone really wanted, they could have their watchmaker remove the crown and stem, take the case tube out and re screw the case tube in a different direction, re screw them back on so the crown lines up correctly. the way the crown lines up all lays within the placment of the tube.

Have to agree and who says the crown has to line straight up,just because they are on photo shoots and Rolex web.And perhaps we should keep the date
on the 28th plus the hands set permanently at just after 10 minutes past 10 o'clock just like photo shoots and Rolex brochures.

Good deal, I have a 16613 that also lines up.

SSD · 20 April 2010, 11:17 AM

Mine lines up at 7 o'clock, but it doesn't matter. I luv it anyway!

Renoir · 20 April 2010, 11:44 AM

It's really a random thing, but the watches I have had serviced by RSC NY came back with the crown locking in a perfect position.

ParisDakarBmw · 20 April 2010, 11:53 AM

I've never had one line up. You got lucky! If your 14060 lines up, you need to buy a lottery ticket!

Puffy · 20 April 2010, 07:28 PM

None of mine lines up...

JJ Irani · 20 April 2010, 08:20 PM

I just got lucky with this one, I guess...........but who cares?

This one's slightly off, but again............who cares?

And this fella is way off...........but does it look like I care?

PanosI · 20 April 2010, 09:05 PM

You are very lucky.
At the moment none of my waches line up but the one that i am expecting lines up alsmost perfectly

Clogger · 20 April 2010, 09:39 PM

I have never even payed it a thought before, but now you have mentioned it.

Mine doesn't line up and it's bugging the hell out of me!!!!

36475koz · 20 April 2010, 09:51 PM

Mine's upside down. But to be honest, I had forgotten about it until now. Thanks a lot!

My Sub is 180 degrees out, but I still love it ;-)

DRAWTOOL · 21 April 2010, 12:01 AM

Enjoy it while it lasts, as the threads/seals wear in it's gonna change...

B. Doggy · 21 April 2010, 04:00 AM

Now for that first scratch

Its a non issue! The only thing i want of the crown is to ensure water resistance.

Iam not concerned one iota that on the majority of my Rolexes the crown is upside down.

It matches being down under!
