bolido2000 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 I just got a Calibre 1 V2 from Mary. The watch looks good, but the crown is crooked. You can see from the pic that the crown is flush with case at the bottom, but there is a gap at the top. Anything I can about it? I'm worried that water can easily get in when I wash my hands...
Outsyder Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Mines on a bit of an angle as well but I don't think it as pronounced as yours

That looks more to do with the shape of the case than the crown has any one had their one WRtested?
Jkay Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 That looks more to do with the shape of the case than the crown has any one had their one WRtested? I was thinking this exact same thing ... the case looks angled .. but I wonder why the tube is not shaped to compensate for this
FxrAndy Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 maybe the tube is, the big question is if the tube and crown are sealing correctly, If any one has one in the EU and wants if checking for free then let me know
AstroAvia Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 The case is angled. The point is: the gap seems to be too wide in the OP's crown, as if the tube was longer than it should. However, as the bottom part of the crown is flush with the case, the tube length seems to be correct . And I don't see how the tube could be shaped to compensate for the angled case. The tube could only be placed at an angle, but then the movement would also need to be angled inside the case.
bolido2000 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Posted July 29, 2011 I checked with Mary and she said that all the Calibre 1 are like this because of the angled case. The million dollar question is...how does the crown look in the gen??
Jkay Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 And I don't see how the tube could be shaped to compensate for the angled case. The tube could only be placed at an angle, but then the movement would also need to be angled inside the case. A press-fit tube could have an angled flange at the top, to interface with the watch case correctly. That was my line of thought.
sul Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Look at case wall shape and angle. Not possible to have crown without cap. It is not flaw, it is just like that done. No idea how looks crown on gen. BTW Logo on crown in usually not perfectly in center, that is a flaw, small one but still flaw. Edited August 2, 2011 by sul
