This is another bit of information, installed one of my NOS crystals, I've used crystals from this batch before and they were perfect

This one wasn't seated, yet the installation was clean, watch was clean, and the ring was visibly seated, so I assumed the ring wasn't inserted fully to the crystal and that's where the skew came from

Anyway, long story short, crystal itself is skewed, I installed the high side on the upper part of the watch though, so it's kind of a cool detail now, I think of it as an "optimized viewing angle"
