I am puzzled by your question lol.
Once the bezel is completely removed (and you need to do that to re-position it), it is just a matter of placing the bezel such that the lines are vertical. The direction of rotation won't matter if you realize if the lines are running straight (and it is in your case).
I’ll figure it out lol. I think just a quarter turn to the left will set it straight.

I am also a fan of the Offshore line. A lot of collectors find them chunky, thick, big and even obnoxious, but for me, they embody the DNA of AP well in being bold, masculine, and unabashed. The rep can be uncomfortable to wear due to the disproportionate thickness causing it to be sitting unnaturally tall on the wrist but the gen is a lot more comfortable to wear. 41mm seems to be the magic watch size every brand is gravitating toward these days and this partially explains the popularity of the Royal Oak line. But for me both the Royal Oak and the Offshore lines carry the DNA of the watch brand in different ways.
I don't know how to describe it, but it's just the definition of sporty. Something about it, I prefer it to the Royal Oak... and the number of themes and variations too make it more collectible...

With the RO, I got the 15202 and I felt it was enough? I didn't really crave or lust after other RO models, maybe >I want one of the 15450/15500/15400,

But woth the ROO, I want a fair few of the themes, since they look very different, Rubberclad, etc

I know there was alot of complaints about crystal but this crystal is one of the clearest I have, the DW of course is a little reflective but the main dial pops like crazy... can anyone confirm if it's worse or better than old JF?

The extra thickness does make it sit high, but the weight presses the watch down into wrist. It's a little uncomfortable but aesthetically looks fine

The AP white themes comes only up to the G series and utilizes the 2326/2840 movement if I remember correctly. The crystal and cyclops on the gen aren’t the best. The rep is in fact a lot clearer, especially the cyclops. The cyclops especially, on the older series gen is pretty curved and makes the date hard to read. The date font is also different on this movement. So this is one of the models where the rep crystal and cyclop are both better on the rep. Just do some googling and you’ll see what I mean.

A rep unmodded ROO will never wear like the gen but as long as you’re comfortable with it, it’s good. Even the gen can wear uncomfortable for some owners, especially on a bracelet. It is a love it or hate it watch for many reason but the dimensions is a key reason why.
