sapphire crystal seamaster 300m professional

Hello,
here's a question about the sapphire crystal.

From my new Omega seamaster prof. chronometer 300m it looks like the glas is mounted a little deeper in at 12:00 than at 18:00. we speek about 0,2mm.
I noticed this slight hight difference also on other new Omegas (went back to the store) and they assured me that nothing is wrong and the watch is still waterproof.

Are these watches pressure tested before sending to the store??
How is this sapphire crystal mounted, with a pakking ring pressed in??
Is it worth sending it back to Omega?

With regards from the Netherlands,

Dirk Holdinga
