Recently acquired one 116660, previous owner had screwed the crown all the way to the point it stopped and cannot go any further.I remember reading several threads telling us not to do it, for fear of over-compress the o-rings.

Anyway, it's now at the point where the crown won't feel "hand-tight" until the Rolex symbol points at 2 o'clock. What shall I do with the crown position now? 3 o'clock position (looking sideways at the case) going all the way, 2 o'clock hand-tight or 12 o'clock (feel some resistance) like the GMT II (hand-tight at 12 o'clock, probably coincidental)?
