The crown is not as close to the watch body as my other Tags.
It looks problematic to me. Especially water skiing, working and never taking it off.
Please look at the pics I've provided.

Is this a deffect??
Thanks
Buck

This should be a screw-down crown. If it doesn't work, it could be a defect.
That said, please ensure that the watch is genuine. There are a lot F1 replicas out there.

How do I tell if it's genuine?

Push the crown in and turn it clockwise, it should screw in

It does. thanks, you fixed it. From looking at it. I thought it was touching the sides. It came running and on time. So I was perplexed that that thing was out.
Hnestly I may have been looking for a problem because it was a 1000 less then from their official web site. .

If you bought it from a reputable dealer, you don't need to worry. If you bought it through eBay, or an auction site, beware there are tons of fakes out there, pretending to be genuine.
