Doubt about crown logo position on Datejust 41
Hello guys,

I just bought a brand new Datejust 41 from an AD.

After buying it, I noticed that when I screw the crown completely, the Rolex logo on the crown is facing towards me.


I'm wondring if this is normal, or I should actually go to the AD and ask for the crown to get fixed.

That is normal. It is known to face a random direction

Seriously

1. You bought from an Authorized Dealer.

2. It's a crown, it rotates. They were never meant to align with anything.

Normal, don’t be bothered.

From Rolex only the full gold Skydweller has a mechanism in the winding crown so it will always align.

Nothing to worry about.

I’m more interested in hearing about your new watch. Pictures?

It's because a 51 would be bordering on wall clock territory. And those should definitely be returned.

On a more serious note, what you're describing is perfectly normal. Enjoy your new watch!

The crown on the crown doesn’t always go up, it may go down or left or right or somewhere in between.

Yours is quite normal, relax and enjoy your watch.

Oh, one more thing, pictures please.

Exactly that and in the real Rolex world makes no difference if crown is upright or downside up or anywhere in-between.

Completely normal, I've had three Rolex and none have crowns that aligned. Also, that squeak coming from your bracelet, completely normal too!

I think out of all the Rolex I have owned, none have ever been perfectly aligned.

OP, as the others have said - normal and nothing to worry about.

My DJ 41 does not line up.

But it doesn’t line up in the same way each time.

Thanks a lot guys! This is my first Rolex so I had no idea (the brand is so perfeccionist it seemed kinda weird). I'll take some pics and post them, I was on the list for Submariner, but this came in and they offered it to me and I could not refuse.
