My bezel, when totally screwed down, dont shows the rolex crown vertically :(
This might sound a bit courtliness, but i love details and this one should have been contemplated by rolex..
My crown when screwed down shows +- 210 degrees; i wanted it 360 degrees/ 0 degrees.

Any suggestion?

Well what the hell are you supposed to do when it's 2501? What a scam.

Yes, don't think about it. Very few watches have the crowns stand perfectly vertical. Whatever you do, do NOT keep the crown unscrewed to have the crown stand straight, it's important to keep the crown screwed in.

Hi fmbo,

I own a 116000 as well but changed the dial from orange/black to pink/black. Yours look 100% perfect so don't worry about it. I've actually seen your dial so it's authentic. A tips for you: Rolex's service centre told me to manually turn the crown 40 times to rewind it (e.g., after you leave it in the drawer for 3 or 4 days not wearing it). I found it useful to keep my watch running all day long. In terms of your question about the logo positions on the crown, I had the same "observation" like yours but it does not bother me at all.
