Do the crown position stay the same after the watch have goes thru a complete overhaul ?

donq · 25 February 2018, 11:21 PM

No

airchitect · 25 February 2018, 11:22 PM

No. Due to the new gaskets/seals which haven’t been repeatedly compressed, the crown should not tighten down as much as it previously did.

Would be a bummer if your crown lined up before service and it didn't after.

No, the casetube threading on a Rolex never gets positioned the same onto the case unless by chance.

It does seem that Rolex has started lining up the crown in new watches though, at least the last year I have seen many, mine included that point to the 12 o’clock position. Too many to be conicedental.

The crown on my new DJ II doesn't line up. Am I doing something wrong? Should I send it in for service immediately? Maybe it is a rare model that will skyrocket in value!!

I sold my Explorer because the crown didn't line up.

Mystro · 26 February 2018, 02:26 AM

Remember, it’s barely “finger tip” tight. Do not reap on the crown when tightening it down. It’s not a lug nut.

Only the PM Sky Dweller is fitted with an always upright crown

Facepalm.

Make sure the seconds hand sweeps so you know it’s a Rolex.

doboy007 · 26 February 2018, 02:31 AM

WTF my crown is upside down when screwed, now I’m screwed. Was sold a fake by Rolex AD.

Jim Smyth · 26 February 2018, 02:34 AM

On my 8th Rolex. Last one I traded a few days back had a perfectly aligned 12 crown. First one I ever had like that. Now I am leaning right to 130 on the new one. Good thing I'm older and cant really see it without magnification.

What is the recommended torque specification for crown tightening?
