Crown to the side instead of vertical when locked?

I tried searching but had no clue what key words to put in for this so I apologize in advance if this has been covered before.

I just picked up my SS Daytona last week and for the first time Ive been actually learning as much as I can about a watch in my collection. Its funny, I never really had this passion before about all my other watches. Must be something magnetic about Rolex.

Anyway, so my question is this...Why cant I ever get the "crown" on the triplock to be vertical when screwed down all the way? Its always on its right side. I am anal about symmetry and this really bugs me.

Anyone else ever notice this?

And when you screw the crown down do not over tighten it, only slightly finger tight thats all thats needed.

You have to buy another one that is perfect... Then after 5 years before service sell it and buy another one that is perfect... That is the only way at this moment to have the crown always up...
Which way is up to you??? Up is different depending on which type of picture you are taking..

You live and you learn. I feel sorry for the poor souls who can't accept which way their crown is pointing.
