First time poster here. I'd appreciate any help!

I got a Citizen Ecodrive dive watch this past Christmas. I love it, but I just noticed the other day that the crystal over the face is ever so slightly unevenly set. We're not talking about a glaring flaw here - the crystal is firmly in place. However, the edge of the crystal clears the top of the bezel on one side, and it's lower than the top of the bezel on the opposing side. Again, it's off by the slimmest of margins, but I still noticed it.

It's so small that it doesn't affect the looks of the watch, but I'm worried that this might become a weak point for the watch's integrity at average recreational diving depths. Am I making something out of nothing here, or is this enough of a reason to seek a replacement?
