Amplitude in VSF Omega REP watches.

I am trying to figure out how much amplitude is about right for a VSF Omega super clone movement, I am told that "anything over 200-220 is good on reps" I am inclined to believe it since they are reps after all.
In my reading I found that quality modern watches should be about 275-315 degrees. So there is quite a difference there however I am comparing gen to rep.
At the end of the day I want to know what is an average good amplitude for a VSF Omega super clone movement? Thank you!

250-270 is good
275 to 300 is excelent.

Always measure it when the watch is fully wound.

Amplitude is a very complex topic for watch service people. Different movements have different optimal amplitudes. Push a movement above its maximum amplitude and it can suffer from increased rate inaccuracy and other problems in other parameters.

Should I reject a QC with amplitude of 249 on VSF CRPO?

Did the TD fully wound the watch before testing? If everything else look good on QC pics, I wouldn't reject the watch because the next one he sources for you may have real flaws.
