Its just stamping on the inner case and would doubt in the real world it has to align with anything.The case cannot move but the dial has a very tiny bit of lateral movement with the dial feet before the screws are fully tightened to the movement top plate.

Its not its if anything its the dial in the top plate possible a cats whisker out but if it was not for the Rolex Rolex branding on the rehaute know-one would even notice.Trouble today Rolex have stopped making watches as to some they now only make alignment points.

No, it's nothing to do with the dial. You could refit or replace the dial and you'd have the same problem. It's the movement. The guy a few posts above me wasn't far off the mark.

There is bezel, dial, henaut, and hands to line up.

If I have to pick something being off, I'll take rehaut.

jban5 · 29 November 2015, 12:48 PM

Twenty years from now your kid will be offering it as a "crooked crown old Greenwich" or something of the sort and getting 3x the going rate of a normal one for it.

Spikedlee · 29 November 2015, 01:01 PM

RSC it man

greggsiam · 29 November 2015, 01:08 PM

I don't think I could ever notice that, nor would I care for such a small amount. Wear it and be happy.

Chadridv · 29 November 2015, 01:08 PM

My LVC is perfectly aligned. I would say it doesn't bother me, but realistically after a couple weeks I wouldn't be ok with it. Good luck!

Paying top dollar for a product that is not put together properly, faulty or defective in someway is not a first world problem, it's just a problem.

To be clear, I don't know if the engraved crown is supposed to be perfectly aligned, but that's the point of the inquiry I suppose.

Also to be clear, this is of course a luxurious hobby that is globally exclusive to a tiny percentage of the population. I understand all that. But whether you're buying a Rolex, a text book for college, a jacket for your kid or seeds to grow food for your family, you will always expect to get what you pay for. If it's broken or not as described, it's just a problem.

agree 100%

RolexxxeloR · 29 November 2015, 02:03 PM

Total non-issue... I wouldn't sweat this.

Blasketbanshee · 29 November 2015, 02:04 PM

Am I correct that this engraving is a permanent part of the case? Or is the rehaut a ring attached to the case? Wondering how fixable this is.

Annan · 29 November 2015, 02:26 PM

The crown on my GMTII and DJ are both perfectly aligned with the 12:00 marker. FWIW and just for fun.....notice that along the rehaut the X in ROLEX is aligned with the hour markers on the 12-6 side while the R in ROLEX is aligned with the markers on the 6-12 side.

That's interesting and just noticed that on my Sub LVc.

Never noticed this but on all of mine this is true. Maybe another way to show athenticity?

Seems like I read that somewhere. However, would not want to alarm anyone if their alignment is slightly off. That could simply be a QC issue.
