Is this gap a cause for concerns?

Hi all,

Is the gap on the Exp2 (lower watch) worth some concerns? This is a 3186, M series. Thanks all.

It's not right for any watch, let alone a Rolex.

i thought that twinlock crowns generally had a bit of a gap?

Yep, mine looks just like it when it's screwed down (not often).

My 5513 also has as a very small gap also.

Doesn't look right to me, be worth getting it checked I think

I think, that we need a bit more info about the watch. Did it come like this new from Rolex?

Was the watch recently serviced? By Rolex or an independant watchmaker?

Generally speaking, such a gap is pretty normal. My GMT II has a slightly smaller gap but it's clearly visible. It came like this from the factory.

Maybe a dumb question, but the crown is properly screwed and secured?

I think the stem isn't completely screwed in the crown.

I think the stem isn't completely screwed in the crown.

That would be my guess, too.
