I have two white outer boxes that I could sell you, but I'm going to hang onto them as their value is about to soar. I heard this from a grey dealer on YouTube!

Unscrew it a little until the crown is right side up. Having the crown logo offline may get you mocked in public places.

Always been an issues with me that they cant line up the crown on each watch during production, but in the end who really sees this. I wouldn't worry... the nine rolexes I have do not line up. Just enjoy wearing your watch!

Is it normal? can it be fix ?
Many leading Rolex collectors go to a jeweller and sand off the crown crown then reapply a new crown crown where the crown is at it’s locked position. Then the crown crown is perfect, like a Rolex crown crown should be.

(And this is a family site, Sir! Not some clubhouse of the lewd!!)

Are they real. Do they smell good or plastic smell ? Would you consider a $10 Applebees gift card for trade?
