Rolex aligned crown

[powerdrome]

Hello All, just a quick question / doubt about the alignement of the crown of Rolex.
Are those crowns always aligned up in the gen version?
Is it possible to align it?
I received some QCs but i'd like to ask for the alignement if it is a regular issue

Thanks

not even gens have aligned crowns, it's an urban myth imo

ok thanks i'm checking all my rolex now.
indeed both gens and reps have no alignment...

Is it possible to align those anyway?

It's possible to align the crown, but if you ask your TD to source you a watch with an aligned crown I think you may encounter some problems.

Just save yourself the headache and don't bother fussing about crown alignment. Once the gaskets get a bit worn in on a new watch the crown will screw in a little further which causes the alignment to change anyways. If you really want the look, you can always unscrew it slightly so that it sits where you want it to be.
