Help with balance wheel of calatrava

[watchseeker.vxp5h]

Hello,

yesterday I got my calatrava from Mary (from RWG forum). I noticed two things that I could not see in the QC. Firstly, the balance wheel, which seems to be fixed only at the bottom, so that the "screw" also swings back and forth and rattles. Is this normal? This is my first watch of this kind and I can't quite place it.

The second thing is that i have the feeling that the front glass is less luminous than the back also it seems to get prints sooner than the back or my other JLC rep watch and it seems to be less reflective. is it possible that this is not sapphire glass? I found it hard to capture it in a photo. Anyone having experience with this?

Thank you for your insight.

The screw on the rotor needs screwing back in

Are you serious? I will give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume that you are in fact serious and not trolling... Well, that screw is 'hanging loose like the tongue of a lizard' (to quote Borat talking about his wife's... Well, just watch the first Borat movie).

So, uhhh... no.. This is definitely not "normal".... Like @GrandmasterChime said, it's in urgent need of some screwing. And I don't mean the sexy-time kind of screwing... (to quote Borat again).
