Crooked "Officine Panerai" on movement - Fixable?

I often see the blue "Officine Panerai" marking on the 6497 movements very crooked. Are these in fact stickers? Is each letter an individual sticker? If these are stickers, is it something that can be straightened?

I realize that even if they are straight it is still a major giveaway. The crookedness is still semi-annoying.

Here is a pic of what I am talking about.

These are stickers that can be removed easliy. Take your caseback off, if you do not have a tool, a ball of duct tape will work, then get some tape and apply to stickers. Probelm solved.

Are they individual stickers or is each word a sticker?

Someone should make a sticker with the correct font/size that can be put on in place. Still would not be etched, but it would look a lot better.

They are individual stickers. I have not seen to many that are lined up perfectly. Best thing to do is take them off as the movement is a dead give away anyhow.
