mine is consistently the same spot...
In Response To: Crown question ()

Kyle,

I read your post and thought that I would report the following personal experience.

When I got my watch, I wanted to see if I could line up the "Omega" symbol so that it would be straight up and down, so I unscrewed the thing, ratcheted it over and tried, and it always returns to the exact same spot when fully screwed down (on my watch this makes the Omega consistently line up perpendicular to about 4:00 when the crown is facing me). Since I have a Ph.D., it took me a while to figure out that this was the result of the threading on the screw (duh:)

So, the point of this seems to be that if you notice the omega symbol on your crown moving to inconsistent spots when fully screwed down, there may be some problem with it. Maybe other owners will share their experience with you. You might e-mail Omega and ask them about it as well.

Good luck,

Mus.
