Was very distressed when i discovered a pusher cap had fallen off on my current fave watch after a nice trip on the road. Searched everywhere and couldnt find but finally found The cap n spring lodged inside my watchroll.

In order not to lose it i have tenporarily reinstalled it and applied blue loctite to the screw to prevent this happening again (this happened ro someone here on forum a couple years back from search i did)

Since i am going to be doing this loctite thing on pusher caps of all my watches i might as well get everything perfectly right. Which brings me to my question: what is the correct orientation for fluted pushers? Should the fluting or the flat top be facing up? I did a check of about 20 watches and found no statistically significant norm, some were even mismatched, but then i have no nos watches. So if anyone knows the correct orientation or whether there was none or this is being too anal😜.

Thanks and pic of flat top up orientation i have temporarily settled on for the casualty watch
