It's just a matter of expectations mate. In this industry things can go flawless and you get a watch in 10 days, or not. Simple as that. Even with not many screw ups, a watch can take around a month to reach you, or even two. Or you can have it on your wrist in a week and a half. With some of the big TDs like Puretime you usually have it faster (if it's a common watch like a Sub, Royal Oak or Seamaster), but you are just a figure to them and the QC they might do is not as good as the control someone like Sead, Lucy or Mary would do. The smaller ones are slower, but they take their time to go to their sources, look at the different watches of each model and handpick the one with less flaws for you. That has a price which you pay not in money but in waiting time.
This is the exact type of review that gave me wrong expectations. For sead, this is simply wrong. He did not QC the watches (he would have seen that the color is wrong, or that the bezel has an issue in the second watch) and the QC pictures were simply bad. Dark, not one straight picture that let me determine whether the date is centered, and no timegrapher pics. I don't see this as good QC, and I and I am sure other noobs get bad expectations from comments such as yours. I can't speak for other TDs of course.
