Crown & Stem Variance

Anyone ever have the crown screw in to the stem and end up sitting at different points? My 16610 usually will screw in to the point that the coronet sits perfectly up & down (I know, I'm lucky). There are other times it doesn't.

Does this ever happen to anyone else? Normally I will do a reverse twist to get the threads to grab before I screw it in. Hmmm......

Mine line up in almost the same place every time, with very little variance.

Cannot understand why who says the winding crown has to point straight up its a winding crown and who is ever going to notice it,except perhaps the wearer
