Tight but not too tight. Snug but not too snug. Sealed nicely but not too nice. Firm but not overly firm.

Don't force it all the way in. Just stop when it feels tight. That's what she said...

All of my Rolex spin with medium resistance and then come to a distinct stop. Just don't go any further. No bonus points for sheared tubes.

How do you know if the crown tube is sheared or not?

Somehow may be over-tighten it because the force and torque applied is not linear.

It would strip and continue to spin. The force and torque are exactly linear actually.

Ah, see I usually strip it then back it off a half turn then run and tell someone how I found it that way

Hey buddy, it's not rocket science. Just turn the crown until it stops. JFC

Do most AD's do authentication for yall? I called the nearest one to me (ABQ) and they rudely told me they "don't authenticate watches, and if I had bought from them I wouldn't need authentication" lol.
Any advice is appreciated.

A big difference between an AD (Private Franchise Dealer) an RSC (Most likely CW21 trained staff on hand) and a corporate Boutique (Owned by the manufacturer)

Private ADs have their own rules for the most part and are usually just a local jewelry store with a jeweler on hand but not a watchmaker trained in everything Rolex. They can usually only do the basics like bracelet sizing and regulation and will usually ship your watch off to an RSC for a full service if you drop it off there.
To have an AD refuse an authentication isnt out of the ordinary since the on-site jeweler may not be versed in spotting all of the signs of these new mega fakes.
