Crown on Jubilee centered?

Question for you all with Jubilee bands:

Is your crown centered? My wife's is not, and if it bothers her that much I may just have her go to the RSC and have one added to one side and one removed on the other.

OCD, yes, but understandably so

EDIT: By centered, does the crown present itself on the center of your wrist? Not implying that the crown is placed off-center on the actual link.

I don't think that it's intended to be centered on the wrist.

The most comfortable fit should be clasp centered, since the crown is at the end of the clasp the crown will be off center. When the crown is center the clasp is off and causes the watch to roll.

I agree with this. Getting the crown that's on the clasp to sit in the middle of the wrist would make the watch very difficult to wear.

The only way to have a crown perfectly centered on that part of the wrist I can think of is by visiting a tattoo parlor. RSC isn't going to help resolve this, they won't put/move a crown on the watch where ever you wish.

Its not suppose to be centered. The crown is on the end of the clasp which is near end of wrist.

I think I've got this right, and will try to answer as best I can.

It's impossible for the Folding Clasp crown to be centred due to the geometry of the folding clasp itself.
It is however conveniently located to indicate the opening point of the Clasp.
Which by virtue of the design is also at the point which is easily accessed by the thumb of the other hand.

I am so glad I don't work in retail.
Then again I wouldn't last much more than a week. If that.

Jesus Christ himself couldn't help with this one

I think on the radial side of the wrist is correct

As it is, closed...whether on the wrist or not, the 'crown' isnt centered.
May also have a bearing on the size of your wrist. A larger wrist, with added links may sit differently..!!

Can't be properly fitted and centered. It's the design of the clasp. Looks fine to me. PP has there released centered IIRC.
