QC Pics Help - CG and CG Pin Issue?

Hi all:

I'm new to the forum and this is my first post outside of the introduction forum. I've received my QC pics from Toro Bravo for a Noob 390 that I ordered.

I see two possible issues:

1. I think that the CG Pin is not sitting flush enough with the CG when compared to the CG pins of other Noob 390 samples, like projectologist's (from Nov. 2014) and sub007's (from Dec. 2014) (see circled area in pic below)

and

2. The upper inside portion of the CG looks rough, jagged (see circled area in pic below)

I've added a comparisons shot with the CG's blown up on my QC pics and pics taken from Projectogologist's thread and sub007's thread (see here: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=242171 and here: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=203807 ). I hope that's ok.

I've included my other QC pics as well, in case anyone else wanted to review them.

What do you think about the CG issues? Or are these even issues at all?

Thank you.

Enlarged macro photos is not exactly a real world scenario mate.....I yet to meet one person with loupes surgically implanted in their eyes.

I understand that. This question is less about whether this is a "perfect" rep and more about whether I'm getting the product that I should get for my money when compared others who have purchased the same product. It's primarily a consumer-economic issue to me and only secondarily a quality issue. Plus, I chose this product exactly because of the supposedly superior case and cg. Thanks for your input in any event.

The inner corner of the CG looks poorly finished. I had that issue with my PAM177 QC photos last month. Just raise the issue with the TD and should fix it no problem.

Mine took an extra few days to source another CG and all is good now :)
