The LEC in the crystal will not effect the running of the watch where ever it is, Rolex etches thousands of crystals then puts them in a completed watch,now the LEC is very hard to see even with high magnification. So if its slightly off to whatever line up point,now thats if there is supposed to be line up point its not going to effect your watch.

Thanks, It is my wife's watch and my concern was that crystal could be loose or something as all my other watches the etching is and was always at the 6 and she is in the water a lot and didn't want it to leak is all
