Uneven crystal placement?

Hi everyone. I was hoping someone could answer a nagging question of mine.

I recently purchased a new Omega Shumacher Day/Date Limited edition. I've noticed that the crystal's beveled edge is slightly higher at the 12 O'clock position than it is at the 6 o'clock side. Basically, the crown seems to be unevenly seated. I've noticed a similar discrepency with one of my Oris'..

Is it typical for some watches to have their crystals not seat perfectly around? Does this merit a trip to the repair center?

Thank you in advance for your help.
