Would you pay more for a correctly oriented crown?

By the way, why is that only the PM SkyD's crowns aligned "correctly the DD is the Flag Ship watch). As far as I can tell/work out, it has nothing to do with the command bezel, more likely, & I'm no watch maker, the position of the crown tube, after insertion into the case and the orientation of the "male" screw threads, with the "female" crown screw threads, would surly determine alignment.
I think that it's kind of quaint that the crown is "off centre" and not "perfect". I can understand that in the Rolex brochures it will be aligned as a marketing ploy. Some wise guy might suggest that Rolex aren't any good, since they can't get the coronet aligned up/down.

So now OCD is an insult? lol at you "cool" Rolex fans. I bet if Rolex started to make all the crowns the same as the Skydweller, you "doesn't care" folk would change your tune. Like when Rolex made the cases bigger, added the ceramic bezel, changed the bracelet, went to SELs, etc.

Only PM Sky Dwellers have the crown always up alignment feature. I agree it does define the crown up as the standard. My take is that Rolex must be in financial difficulty in that they haven't made this apart of all their watches. It's a tough market they live in. It's amazing that this topic has over 200 responses. I have a hard time seeing the crown on my watches without the aid of reading glasses. No way I'd notice casually.

My eyesight is the same.
Personally i am just thankful our Rolex watches are arguably the most reliable water proof watches on the market. And it's due in part to the patented Rolex Screw down crown as it currently is.

I'm not convinced the PM Skydweller arangement necessarily defines the Coronet up allignment as being the standard, or for that matter even correct.
It does sadly validate it

I thought there will be increased volumes of threads(no pun intended) around the Coronet allignment when the PM Skydweller came out.
