Yes all Rolex's are set from the factory with the crown in perfect vertical orientation. Anyone who has a canted one has a defective watch and should send in to RSC for correction.

Only fake Rolex's have canted crowns.

If you can't tell I am being sarcastic

Depends how I hold my watch.

Marlboro. · 23 April 2019, 07:15 AM

They all point in random directions when the crown is fully screwed down.

supernova · 23 April 2019, 07:29 AM

If you can tell the the difference in 1 degree off, then I suppose you have a 1/360 chance of getting an upright crown!

MCO1 · 23 April 2019, 10:27 AM

Upright on only my Explorer.

Keepchasing · 23 April 2019, 10:43 AM

Guess I got lucky. Crown straight upright and bezel notches match the insert markers. Doesn’t matter either way. Luck of the draw.

toolr · 23 April 2019, 10:47 AM

Yes, when I hold it like this...

ltmgeller · 23 April 2019, 10:48 AM

My sub was until I got it serviced.

lamnyc · 23 April 2019, 10:54 AM

2 out five. The two that’s upright came back that way after service.

rad87gn · 23 April 2019, 10:56 AM

2 of my 5 do.

Old Geezer · 23 April 2019, 12:07 PM

Out of 6 watches, zero are aligned upright or even close.

GoingPlaces · 23 April 2019, 12:10 PM

Oh boy, another one of "those" threads.

t65tampa · 23 April 2019, 12:12 PM

No on all 7 of mine.

Surprisingly my LV crown aligns perfectly, the only R I had owned with a perfectly aligned crown.

waynorth · 23 April 2019, 12:20 PM

One is about 90 degrees and the other is 47.314 degrees. I don't care if they are lined up or not.

No need to invoke psychiatric diagnoses in your response, sharkfactor. Nonetheless, I appreciate the input.

Junior_ · 23 April 2019, 12:32 PM

Mine is so close. But not quite there. And I don’t care.

bobernet · 23 April 2019, 12:48 PM

They only guarantee it on platinum watches. The AD said, “the crown will be aligned perfectly or your money back.” He was right, so it must be true. Right?

Honestly, a real Rolex connoisseur wouldn't care about it lining up or not, they would know

True on all Rolex I have. My Omega planet ocean lined up perfectly every time. But I sold it :)

subtona · 23 April 2019, 12:53 PM

Havent noticed.

jrs146 · 23 April 2019, 12:56 PM

My Pepsi aligns perfectly. 1 out of the 50 I’ve owned over the years.

My TT Bluesy is straight up and down. My 16623 Yachtmaster points at 10:00.

pickettt · 23 April 2019, 03:22 PM

one does, one doesn't

roznalos · 23 April 2019, 03:27 PM

My Explorer does. 214270

What, another thread thread?

SearChart · 23 April 2019, 04:19 PM

It isn't, nor do I care if it is upright or not. As long as there is a single dot underneath my crown then I am a happy man.

SS Oyster · 23 April 2019, 05:11 PM

Just my DSSD D-Blue. Even new Pepsi is 90* off

GradyPhilpott · 23 April 2019, 05:47 PM

The crown on my OP Date 1503 points up, but it's the only one.

This is however a non-issue for me as I very rarely even notice and I think I had my 1503 for quite a long time before I even noticed.

If I never ready watch forums, I might have never noticed.

Errr, nope... Actually yours is misaligned. Mine has changed since I took the photo, too.

JohnnyMack · 23 April 2019, 06:47 PM

My DSSD..yes. My SD43...no as it is 90 degrees out.
