One question Steve. How much would it complicate production (i.e. add to the price) to align the back engraving with the dial? Mine (#008) is perfectly inverted which is fine with me, and at the price point I have no problem with the random orientation. I am just curious, as that makes for a nice detail. OTOH, I would rather have a watch delivered in a timely manner and with great quality at a great price point, than spend three years waiting for a perfectionist to fiddle with every minute detail (ahem Mk II).

Thanks, Stevral for the awesome customer service. I absolutely love my Vintage.

The case backs are made separately, then screwed on after engraving, it would be very time consuming to put on the case backs and mark each one individually as to which point is the top, I am not even sure it can be done, My Rolex crown and case back are not lined up when screwed down. The Omega Sea Master is not lined up either. It is not economical to try and get it lined up, because even if you think you have the method figured out, they will still probably not line up when tightened all the way down.
