Its nice when it does though

gossbeau · 24 February 2017, 07:01 PM

Mine is aligned, but I never cared whether it was or not. And I'm excessively pedantic. Who is going to look at your watch from that angle including yourself?

tifosi · 24 February 2017, 11:06 PM

Mine is basically identical to the OP's crown.

padi56 · 24 February 2017, 11:51 PM

Guys just send a personal email to the Rolex CEO the emblem will be removed from the winding crown. Then every-bodies winding crown will line up somewhere, whether upright, downside up, or anything in-between.

beshannon · 24 February 2017, 11:52 PM

No idea, I look at the position of the hands on the dial

JnmEaton · 25 February 2017, 12:53 AM

boxer briefs, matching of course. 2:00

Chaps

I really do think some of you need a long stress free holiday.

There is worrying, there is OCD and then there is plain lunacy worrying about if a crown lines up.

Time to get a life.

I own six Rolex and none of them line up and who cares, I certainly don't.

Regards

Mick

It can be bothersome at times and in all the Rolex ads they show the crown in the upright position and you would think they should have them the same across each model especially for the price of the watch.
All of my watches are almost upright but not like they are shown in the ads - YouTube the official Rolex site and each watch has a short clip in each clip the crown is perfectly centered and upright

Steven Andrew · 25 February 2017, 01:11 AM

Mines about 10 o'clock but I remember when researching my purchase, I watched one of the zillion real versus fake videos on YouTube and the guy said if the crown doesn't line up its a fake lol.

That would be one way to correct crown alignment

Mine points to about 11 o'clock. I feel like it was closer to 10 o'clock when I got it and each time i wind it seems to be a little more towards 12. Bothered me a little at first when I assumed they were meant to be straight up and down, but now i don't really notice.

Abdullah71601 · 25 February 2017, 10:55 AM

Not that it matters, but one of my three aligns upright.

masyv6 · 25 February 2017, 12:07 PM

Mine doesn't face straight up which kills me a little bit inside. I'm a little OCD about stuff like that but I just try not to think about it

Dyim · 25 February 2017, 12:15 PM

Crown always straight up and time is 10:11:31

NOT.

Never bother to check crown alignment.

Arclight · 26 February 2017, 09:18 PM

Perfect

Wcdhtwn · 26 February 2017, 11:42 PM

Mine points to 11:00. Close enough...

Golden Ellipse · 27 February 2017, 01:02 AM

Mine points to the right

'Andy' · 27 February 2017, 01:03 AM

I never even notice.....it isn't designed to line up so I don't care.

NLYogi · 27 February 2017, 01:38 AM

Down! Love it!

DramaTurtle · 27 February 2017, 01:40 AM

Mine is an upside down crown, almost exactly.

regnant · 27 February 2017, 11:45 PM

I leave it there until where it stops, 116506 almost upright while others point downwards

Ian Macdermott · 28 February 2017, 12:14 AM

Not that I gave a r*ts ass but the one on my Sub lines up my DJ and GMT do not.

dba · 28 February 2017, 02:22 AM

Whatever.

herts9 · 28 February 2017, 02:24 AM

mine is 90º sideways. don't care,..just glad it's there

kilyung · 28 February 2017, 03:07 AM

If it meant paying more, would you still care? Not me.
