[AP Question] Why don't the Royal Oak screws in the back line up? (www.reddit.com)

Picture shows the back and the front. The front screws line up perfectly. The back screws are all over the place.

Why can't they do something to make the back screws line up as well? I'm pretty sure the screws in the front and back aren't connected. So whatever they do to make the front line up they should be able to do for the back, no?

It's a very small issue but considering how much this watch is, as well as the commitment to precision/detail-orientation, this is something that really bothers me every time I see it...

The front ones on the APRO aren't actually screws, they're bolts made to look like screws. Correcting the alignment would require the threads to be perfectly aligned and oriented in every direction with extremely close tolerances.
