So I noticed today that the rubber insert on the crown is a hexagon. If at the right angle, the top and bottom (if you look at the case from the side) of the hexagon can clear the crown protectors perfectly. If you turn the crown 45 degree more, then the pointy parts of the hexagon are kind of squeezed by the crown protector (even though I see that they added some clearance for this). Do you guys turn the crown until it is flat on both sides of the crown protector or let the pointy part of the rubber insert squeeze against the crown protector?

I always make sure my crown is left in the "flat" position so as not to rub against any part of the case.......but then again ............it may be just my OCD talking.

We think alike.

I'd never thought about it. Don't think it really matters IMO.

There is no contact with the steel guards, so it does not really matter.

When I look at mines it looks like there is contact.

Mine doesnt have contact with the crown guards.

I have checked mine; at your eyesight visual it looks in contact with the guard but if you use a loupe, you will see that there's a very tiny gap between it, so it doesn't need to be worried. I would rather keep it completely tightened to avoid any possible water penetration given it is designed for use in water. Cheers.

Owned one for a while and never noticed, unwarranted advice, just enjoy your watch.

I just screw the crown down until it is slightly tight. Maybe im missing something but if the crown was hitting the crown guard it would be harder to turn and you would probably eventually see wear on the rubber crown. On both my divers it didn't seem to be an issue.

There shouldn't be any contact at all.

It just may look that way, but I am sure there is no contact. No worries.
