The screws that the factories use are way to soft. You either use a screwdriver, that fits really well with a steady hand, or deform the screw.
AwesomeHere's mine with protective stickers.
Where you got the rotor from?
Same, love how it looks under different lighting conditions....this pic makes me want to get a green one, too...
Finally, someone intelligent enough.
For the record, this is why I don't post much any more—too much negativity and stupidity. Those are not screw marks; those are sticker markers caused by the depression of my wrist against the sticker that caused some parts of the sticker to adhere to the screws, which are at a level lower than the case back.
Sharing information has been and shall continue to be the core of RWI. This is not a QC page; I did not ask for comments; however, I will still patiently answer them.
1) ...yes, probably the screwdriver used for the front screws, used also on the back (for laziness)..... (You can't do that; the front "screws" are not screws; they are rivets to be placed precisely into the slots. Anyone who uses a screwdriver to touch the front screws is dumb(for lack of a better word).)
2) No guys, the back screws are never aligned. The screws look used, as if a screwdriver that was too small had been used. ( It's protective stickers, end of story)
3) For the constructive questions, where did I get the 50-anniversary rotor? (I got it from an old 15510 that comes with the anniversary rotor and transferred it over.
If you cannot stand watches that are stickered pls look away. I am just sharing this wonderful piece made by APSF
It looks amazing... even with green dial bro!Very well done engraved movement by APSF
Can I ask you if when you received it the back screws were loose or tight well? Thanks!
Fine fine I'll get one after CNY you bastards
one of them was loose. Its just something you have to check with every rep. Check the casebackIt looks amazing... even with green dial bro!
This is one of the better ones in recent years. I mean, a flyback? on a rep?Fine fine I'll get one after CNY you bastards
41mm on my wrist is a tad too big and I'm still curious about servicing and reliability. Flyback is super impressive but if this movement goes kaput it's a $800 loss....
you are not wrong to say that . However I believe that its still a great rep for the price. Kaput or not. Willing to take the risk
Some things in life are worth a bit of risk my friend.
Im not normally one to get multiple versions of the same watch, Daytonas aside. I may pick up a green one after CNY.

Exactly my thinking.
The prevailing opinion here in regard to broken movements is to just throw the watch in the bin and buy a new one.
But this only perpetuates the underlying problem.
Especially in case of a newly designed complicated movement just like this one, chances are that it might go south an no replacement for a reasonable price will be offered and in addition to that somebody has to replace it in person which cost a sustainable amount.
