An amateur here, so would appreciate your thoughts. My biggest concern for this watch is that the amplitude appears to be out of the acceptable (250-310) range! Should I ask for another watch based on the amplitude alone?


1) Pearl at the top (12 o'clock) of the bezel is about to fall off? AND for the Solid End Links (SELs), the top right seems to have a CONCERNING GAP



2) Timegrapher numbers: Amplitude is out of acceptable (250-310) range @ 314!



3) Looking at the alignment


THANK YOU!

The amplitude is fine. Sometimes the amplitude will temporarily read a little high if the watch has just been fully wound.

I don't see anything wrong with the pearl.

The SELs look fine. The SELs are recessed (like they should be), and the recess can sometimes look like a gap when the photo is taken slightly off center of the watch or the watch is slighlty tilted.

I don't see anything that would prevent me from approving this watch.
