Just got my QC pictures. Am I too nitpicky to think that the fantasy movement gears look scratched/dirty and the bottom dial screw insert looks scratched?

Also the amplitude seems a bit low: 227°

Looks good but I agree the bottom right screw does look off and definitely scratched. Which dealer did you get this from?

Puretime. But their site is down atm. But I asked for another one because of the amplitude. If I'm correct low amplitude (when the watch is lying down) might suggest that there is some friction in the movement.

Now at my 3rd attempt of getting getting a fine watch from QC. It looks like all these watches come scratched screws and damaged dials. Also the amplitude ranges from 170-230. Do I have bad luck or what's up (also don't think those amplitudes are normal) ?

i really do not understand your rationale. Seriously.

it's a 150K watch for a reason, not just because Richard Mille love to overcharge (he does - but he has some right in it)

You should be grateful we have a rep in first place since UNLIKELY the factories purchased a real one

Agree to disagree. He says for 400 bucks this rep should be perfect not rubbish like it is now in his opinion . I say that it's a great 400 rep which cannot be compared to the gen for the very reason that in order to replicate the gen the rep should cost 50k maybe

I am not 100% sure but I believe it is not like the gen, it is a normal spring bar system.
